Mike, Actually…when going over someone else's code…I love comments. Mainly because I'm going over it to either fix it…or modify it. At least with the comments…I know what the programmer was trying to do, and it's a good place to start debugging. If the comment says '/* calculate the area of a circle */' and I see the code is calculating the area of an ellipse…then I've got a clue that something is amiss. Don
