And that is why I *always* comment code whose purpose is not immediately obvious: self-
defense. Even with a large applications group, you still wind up maintaining a lot of your own
code, maybe years later: "Hey, who wrote this module? Doug did? OK, Doug, you get to do
this enhancement." Never mind the fact that Doug is now the sysadmin, and hasn't worked in
apps development for five years... Naah, that'd never happen... Would it?
