If this is defensive programming, there must also be offensive programming and I'd kill them all - programming - because there are a lot of people out there (they call themselves also programmers, so be careful.. :-D) who give a damn on what someone else is saying, even if it might be their boss. They stick to their bad coding habits regardless of what's happening around them... Regards Thomas

I've processed that code with WinZip. The result is:

One of those sounds too familiar - on our team comments are generally frowned on - especially those that may document the parameters of a function. The boss' logic? Comments frequently aren't maintained so end up out-of-date. I'm not sure about this one - I get his point, but I'd rather see a slightly off-topic comment (and correct it when I realised) than have to work out everything's purpose from scratch the first time its encountered (or when sufficient time has passed since you last looked). Then again, there seem to be no concerns about line length either. I've encountered lines of code over 1000 characters wide, so not only are there no comments, but I have to keep scrolling sideways to see the code itself. Often, the most important work is done by a function call hidden away a few screens beyond my screen estate.

Mister Kofi Ado, If you have 9,5 mil (nine and a half million) that you want to get rid off... share it with the codeproject community, we will be very happy with your money you want anything in return? I'm sure we can provide you a good program that helps you spamming messageboards. (but we can't garantee bugs that might f**k up your pc)

Sounds tempting, however it occurs to me that if you're smart enough to steal that much from your company, then you're smart enough to cheat me out of my share, so just eff off.
