After many hours of sitting around each night, looking through merlyn's webtechniques column, I thought it would be a great idea to have one of those here.

Basically, all it would be is:
  1. Someone posts their code
  2. Posts brief explanations of each line down below
Of course, these posts would be lengthy at most. But, considering mischief's post earlier (auto <readmore>), we could just use his idea to conserve space. There may also be some problems with vaque explanations and bad code which could all be fixed by a healthy reply or /msg.

This idea might be able to be put into check in the code catacombs. Whereas all vroom has to do is add a textarea for the explanation and all.

Overall, this seems like a great learning experience, better than any spoiler posted on a japh. Anyway,isn't that why we are all here?

UPDATE:As dws mentions below, this is what I was trying to get through
