Brad,
Oh...You'd love working for me I am the nicest guy in the world!  And anyway I
don't like management anymore, I am pursuing my love as a "developer/analyst".
I am currently in hardcode HELL (stuff like STAT COMP 'CA' and CLT# IFEQ
25312...in mainline stuff).... The person that did this stuff should be 
summarily
executed.  If you would see it you wouldn't believe it!  As for commenting... I
am referring to basically identifying what a particular subroutine is supposed 
to
do with a few well chosen words.
PS) I have never fired anyone for hardcoding or not commenting (however I think 
I
am able to spot 'hardcoders' and 'non-commenters' during the interview phase),
and if you would see some of the code that has been under my authority in the
past you would kiss my ring.  :)
