Yeah, being cutsie in comments can backfire when your readers are Evoltians
with surly attitudes.
As for me, I really really hate comments that are all in caps. It brings
up bad DOS flashbacks for me.
But when slogging thru or peeking at code, I'd personally rather see a
thoughtful, even cutsie comment, with a blessing, a curse, whatever,
something that shows some interest, some love... over something screamingly
mundane and vague as:
><!-- BEGIN CONTENT -->
but again, that's personal preference.
>and f*ing end it at that.
