In my defense:
a) I'm new to struts
b) It's a How-To document to be read by others in our team, or myself at
3am when not all neurons are firing at their best.

I'm reminded of the guide on Mt Everest who said, "If they need my help,
they shouldn't be here!" That was the year 17 people died.

I never did get any suggestion as to where to post this (and others) to
any archive site and now I'm not sure if it's worthy.

Having comments that are superfluous:
(a) still requires brain processing, and my brain is in short supply :/
(b) obscures what's actually being done (see note below)
(c) requires maintenance

Note: If comments like that are well to the right and justified along
some far-right column I'd be slightly mollified as it keeps them out of
the way.

...but I've never been through a code review where those comments
wouldn't have been tagged for deletion. They're just not helpful (in
this specific case).

I tweaked a compiler during college to do fun things when it encountered
naughty words in comments. That was fun.
