(Sigh... nobody has a sense of humor anymore.)

Guys, I've learned to document code out of self-preservation... because I may be the one who has to revisit the code months or years later later. When someone tells me "You ought to be able to look at the code and see what it's doing." my response it always "I can see what it's doing, what I need to know is what it is TRYING to do."

My comment wasn't aimed at the comment about documentation, but at the suggestion that we should code to the lowest common denominator. When better solutions come around, we should pass them along, not avoid them because the next guy might not be familiar with them.

Thanks again for engaging here. I'm very happy this discussion isn't corrupting the Endless Thread.
