>>It's because the comments don't hurt (unless they contain question, Marx, and maybe other dangerous punctuation), and because I have to create a temp table, retrieve about 20 cursors joined on it, and in the end kill the temp table, so there's a few pages between Text and EndText - and I strongly believe that code should be commented. Even if it's TSQL code. So there are comments in it.

Computer reading my comments will have only a "no comments" announcement - it doesn't care. However, I may be reading it from the profiler, so the comments may actually be helpful.

I only have to keep the question marks out.
