how about?
// enumerating i from 0 to 10 (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
// printing i to the console (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
Console.WriteLine(i);
// TODO should do something more useful later (Lloyd 29 07 2010)

A fantastic example. Comments are for programmers, and presumably the programmers know how to form console output and for loops, making the comments fairly pointless. This code breaks two good coding rules.. 1) comments are about WHY, not WHAT.. WHY are we enumerating 100 times? 2) use of really cryptic variable names, such as 'i'. Yechh.

//IOTEMCO This acronym was the brain child of a consultant working on our project. Its meaning: Intuitivly Obvious To Even the Most Casual Observer. This was somehow helpful in his mind.

Glad that someone was able to get the depth of worthlessness of my comments! :laugh:

I'm not sure whether I should confess an inattention mistake, or boast a brilliant example of terrible comment!?

I personally don't find it necessary to worry that my editor is going to somehow 'fall off the end' of a file, and mark that end with a comment. That's like wearing a seat belt in your desk chair, because you're worried that the Earth's gravity might fail.

When was the last time you loaded a box of green-bar in a line printer?
Software Zen:
delete this;Loading green-bar into a line printer ... about 15 years ago. Using fan-fold paper - about 5 years ago. We still used fan-fold multi-part government forms and a nine-pin printer that recently.
