Interesting, Bob. I just posted a note on my approach to coding in the main thread of this discussion and it's quite similar (identical?) to yours. Since you're an IT Manager, I consider my approach professionally validated! :-)

Actually I use comments in a fairly unique way. I pseudocode what I want to do in comments, and then code around the comments so I can keep track of where I am at and what I am trying to accomplish. Removing comments later may make the code more readable, but for code in progress I find I save a LOT more time pseudocoding first so I can concentrate on program flow. I do the actual "how do I go about doing this" thinking later. I only have the energy to power up one side of my brain at a time. I burned out some circuits a long time ago. Another story.
