And they are right.  That's why everyone comments there code. Don't You?  

I also flowchart (stop snikering), don't you?

Seriously, All of the people under me are told to comment there code.  I
tell them at least once a week if not more.  So far, I've gotten about 15
lines of code commented.  Most of the comments are worthless.  Any lingo is
hard to follow if there are no comments.
