They might leave FHuc> seemingly dead or not yet live code! If you know that someone is working on the code and stopped mid-way, then why touch this code at all? Surely, commenting it may annoy that developer a little less, but annoy it will, in any case. :-) And if this code is indeed dead (and not just unfinished), then it should be deleted altogether. Old code should be preserved in source control systems, and not in comments. After a month, you will never know why the code was commented and whether it would be safe to delete it. -- Best regards, Dmitry mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Eap-features mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.intellij.com/mailman/listinfo/eap-features
