OKay ...
Yes I did learn something here, about a star symbol being entered by an implicit conversion. All the more reason to condemn "tricks" like assigning an integer to a char or varchar that is not long enough.
The post is OK, on the caveat that instructions be added that anyone producing code like this needs to be identified, taken in the street and shot. And his house burned down. Preemptive strike to avoid the grief of being stuck later when the guilty party is out of reach.
[sarcasm] Think Green - if you're already going to burn down his house, save the bullet. Let's not be wasteful. Think of the street cleaners. [/sarcasm]

Not good enough.
I want the satisfaction.
In fact, a knife would be even more personal.

Holy crap, the Code Gestapo is going to make his rounds!
I am
removing all comments
from any code that may point back to me. What do you think about that?

As long as there is going to be carnage, would you also add to the victims' list the names of those who say "Choose your answer", instead of "Choose all you think are correct?" :P

Ach soooo ...
How about next time YOU have to debug SQL statments embedded in the application code. The genius could not code it like
SELECT Customer_Name, Customer_Code, Customer_Alias FROM Customer
Of course not. Since the application supports it, this brilliant coding was used:
q.Fields[2], Fields[14], Fields[21]...
That genius I would have gladly strangled.
A honest mistake, I can accept. Hey I am still learning today that I was wrong about things I was certain of. Plus, I am ashamed of code I wrote only a few years ago.
But poison code guaranteed to make soemone else's life miserable, NEVER.
And suppressing comments, that is also high on my 5hit list.
As for escaping, "I haff detailed files".

Actually, more of a Darwin limitation (unfortunately void if they had time to reproduce).
"Victims"? Hardly. Just a hit list.
The President asked the CIE, the local police, and the FBR to find where whe wabbits live.
The CIE consulted mineral and vegetal assets and concluded there was no such thing as a wabbit.
The local police came back with a badly beaten bear which said OK, OK I'm a wabbit.
The FBR torched all the forests it could find and said the wabbits had it comin'.
It's been a long day today. I guess I am getting close to being reported.
