Ok, you guys have gone incredibly off topic and are incredibly pedantic. I've seen more nitpicking in here than in a buffet restaurant! As long as you understand it there shouldn't be any problem. I think everyone here needs to relax a bit. Not everyone was meant to be perfect. In Similar regards to the topic at hand, clearly you are trying to enforce good practices with everyone. But everyone believes that as long as they and others can understand 'their' code then its all fine. Putting forth good practice in programming is good, no, in fact its the best thing to do. I for one always look to the correct solutions to doing things. But one has to ask himself when to stop at doing everything the right way. People who are unaware of this concept usually opt for the cheaper way out of things, or it might simply be because they don't know how to correctly address the problem in the best way. In all, don't be discouraged by the lack of commented code and the amount of crap thats in there. Just do what you have to do, do it right and then get out of there. May I recommend you try finding another job elsewhere where they actually don't give you so much crap? =P

I like to make it apparent when I'm running out of ideas... ... ... ...
