That's nice.

Nor did I -- in any way -- say otherwise.

Lucky no one was telling you either one.

Look, almost everyone agrees that some comments are useless:

///This is a class declaration for Foobar
class Foobar
{

and almost everone agrees that, at least within an individual plugin, coding 
style should be consistent.

Now, no matter how many times that the comments I'm talking about are in the 
form of the above ... no matter how many times I have shown specific examples 
of very important files in KDevelop where the coding style changes from 
method to method and line to line ...

You feel attacked.  Sorry.

Never said it was.

Anyway, I guess I'll have to go through and compile a list of the comments I'm 
talking about ... stuff like:

//huh?

Because obviously, that is a really useful comment.  Or how about:

////////////////////////////////

...just in the middle of some source for no particular reason.
