>As you may have guessed (from the code I've posted here), I almost anal about my code. Of course, this is almost completely contrary to everything else I do.:-) The most important thing, in terms of maintenance, in my mind, is readability. Or in other words, "If it ain't readable, it ain't maintainable".

I am 100% in agreament with you on that, I am very strict with my programmers on readability of code - no new code is added by novice programmers before I OKed it, and they have to re-write it until it is readable and conforms to some minimal standards we've set
