I dont understand the big deal that people have with comments and blank lines???
 who cares really. if u have to turn in your program to someone yes it would be
nice if u made it look neat and indent and comment lines etc.  if your coding fo
r yourself and no ones ever gonna see it anyway who cares.  If your coding and s
omeone wants help and u send them a sample of your code so they get the idea and
 there are no comments in there...its their problem.  Lets face it comments and
"prettyness" are unnecissary, they are not included in the final package they ar
e mearly a convience when re-reading some of your old stuff so you or those u wo
rk with know whats going on quickly and easily.

PS.. I never comment, because if anyone gets my code...i hope they do get confus
ed : )  j/k hehe
