    Kevin Powick Let's say it did work. Let's even say it was well written and free to use, with a nice license. Then the comment ought to contain:
    a) the URL where it was found
    b) the separate project in which it was tested, with location
    c) the identity of the developer who elected to use it

    Bill Meyer I did not mean that in a negative way actually - I was just saying that he's not making secrets about it :)

    Stefan Glienke Yes, I was about to add that of course, you meant that in the nicest possible way. ;)

    Kevin Powick I didn't say I expected to find it. And certainly didn't say I was holding my breath! ;)

    Stefan Glienke I hope you know that I always welcome comments on and improvements for my code, especially from a developer of your caliber.

    "// I hope this works ..."
    in front of a large piece of code - which didn't work.

    Lars Fosdal Hope and breakage, a familiar theme. ;) But many of my favorites are more mundane:
    procedure ClearData; // clear the data 
    I mean, what a revelation!
