>This has been a pet-peeve of mine for some time. A long long time ago, when disk space was sparse, comments in code was frowned on. Too many comments would bring sever finger shaking at me. "We can not afford wasting disk space!" OK. That was then, this is now, with terabytes of disk space, why not take the time and place a comments as to what the code is intended to do? I still see new code with very little to no comments to help me follow the purpose of the code. Not to mention (ok, i will), planning the flow of the code ahead of coding.
