Yeah I quite agree. Thats the lazy way to comment - just to say you have done it. I can appreciate your sentiments as I'm currently adding comments to a hunk of my own code. It's easy to think - Oh sure , I'll remember why I did that when I look at it again in 6 months time - like hell I will! So trying to write meaningful comments is an art in itself. cheers Simon MacDonald www.lemonslicedesign.com simonmacdonald at uk2.net -----Original Message----- From: thechat-bounces at lists.evolt.org [mailto:thechat-bounces at lists.evolt.org] On Behalf Of erik mattheis Sent: 29 October 2008 16:52 To: The evolt.org social mailing list Subject: [thechat] Anybody else hate most comments?
