- I agree. I want more of a balance, than a massive amount of comments.
- I'm not sure I handle inline (// to end of line) comments properly either,
- since they are a recent addition. A line w/ one of those counts as (pick one):
-
- a) code
- b) comment
- c) both
- d) neither (new category required)
-
- However, since I'm not likely to hook up a grammer checker and prose
- complexity analyser to determine whether the comments have been written
- at 7th grade or 3rd grade level, I do the best I can with what I can.
- (It's even harder to automate checking to see if the comment actually
- pertains to the code...)

- Never speak in absolutes. It will always lead to trouble.
