I disagree that commenting is a "deoderant" for smelly code. I use it

understand what I was thinking an ungodly hour like now. However I do
agree with your places where you do put comments. i figure, commenting
ain't so hard, might be useful, and takes no performance toll, so what
the hell?
Let the code speak! The code IS the ultimate truth! Comments are getting
out of sync, getting obsolete. And they they slow down the reading of
the program -- imagine a book that contains two stories at the same
time - one sentence from the first story (the code) and the next from
the second story (comments). Is this fun to read?
If you don't get it, just go to Microsoft Dev Network and have some
really great time with comments ;-)
