>I do the same thing, and basically I think we're saying the same thing here (haven't had enough coffee yet though to be sure ;)) I was just trying to point out the the formal technique of re-using your psuedocode as comments can easily lead one into the bad habit commenting the obvious. Now my new habit of commenting *why* I do a particular step often seems to be lean towards the obvious side of the fence at the time I write the code. But afterwards, like a few months later when I need to make a quick revision, it sure does pay off as far as readability and findability.

I think we are saying the same thing. Of course, as I pointed out earlier, it is Friday, so you may be wise to ignore me today.;-)
