Right, i did that in the past, too. And as every beginner, i did the mistake
of not commenting. Now my comments make about 15-25% of the code, surely not
too much...
And i want also to have another type of comments in my scripts: old code or
just disabled code. It is a plus for me to have the things that i tried to
solve something right beside the current code. I do a lot of optimizing when
necessary and this way if i look later into the code i know instantly which
things and code variations i already tried.
The other case is, that i probably need disabled code later, so it should
stay in the script.
Both types of comments make about 30-35% of the code.

cris :-)
