I hear you about the code that has no comments at all! Way back, I was tasked with creating a simulation model of a Motorola 68000. I found another developer who had created one and asked for a copy of the code to use as a basis.

When I received the code (a humongous blob, BTW), there was not a single comment. When I asked the developer why, he said "Comments only indicate what the code's intended to do". I hit the delete button and started from scratch.
I used the term "######## load" the other day. Of course EVERYONE knows what that means...but my smart-alecky friends would not leave me alone. Do you remember the GOTO days with line numbers? OMG without comments it was all spaghetti!

well darn, I got spanked for a bad word. The replaced word starts with b...has four letters....geez!
