Thank you David, for bringing this to my attention.

This is my comment. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My comment is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must
master my life.

My comment, without me, is useless. Without my comment, I am useless. I must
author my comment true. I must write clearer than my code which is trying to
obfuscate my efforts. I must comment in before it gets me fired. I WILL…

My comment and myself know that what counts in this job is not the lines we
write, the size of our file, nor the time to compile it. We know that it is
the completed change requests that count. WE WILL COMPLETE…

My comment is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it
as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its words, its
letters, its punctuation and its opening & closing tags. I will ever guard
it against the ravages of re-edits and cruft as I will ever guard my legs,
my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my comment clean
and ready. We will become part of each other. WE WILL…

Before God, I swear this creed. My comment and myself are the defenders of
my department. We are the masters of our code. WE ARE THE SAVIORS OF MY
LIFE.

So be it, until the beta goes gold and there are no further patch requests,
but sales!
