in thread Paid for crap

The data types were really just integers. The supervisor was just trying to find something wrong with the code, when there really wasn't anything.

He had a similar change made to a comment. It was broken up into two lines, he wanted only one long line. Brought defects up in reviews of spreadsheets because columns were too wide, too narrow, et cetera et cetera.
