Excellent statements. Personally, I ignore most comments as the work of the Devil and merely read the code. If I can't read the code, I assume no-one else can (as I'm the strongest Perl developer where I am). In those cases, if I can get away with it, I rewrite the code so that it is its own comments. (Then I remove the Devil's ones. *grins*)

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.

Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety. All opinions are purely mine and all code is untested, unless otherwise specified.
