After the 10th "WHY would you EVER do it THAT way" meeting, I also started posting in the original e-mails as comments, as well! :-)
My personal favorite comments are: "They told me to take this out, but I know they're going to ask for it back in a year or two, so I'm just going to comment it out." Every time one of those pays off, (ie, "add" a "new" feature by simply uncommenting the previous code) I pat myself on the back, bask in the glow of smug satisfaction, and bill them an hour. :-) _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
