I tend to mute all exceptions in the execute block of a thread, for
instance (otherwise the app has a mysterious tendecy to suddenly
dissappear). I often catch exceptions raised by TFilestream, so the
user can get a notice in a gracefull manner that the file is locked or
the free diskspace is no more. When sending streams as ISAPI
responses, i free the stream object if an exception occurs. And i
catch everything i do in DLL's.


Thats the main places i use them. So, any of your 95% apply here? Im
curious.
