      (Delete MANY lines of him defending his code)

      Well, I have no idea what his point was, but I have one:

      If I were your manager, I'd ding you REAL hard for writing semi-obscure
code with such a dearth of comments. Now, if he deleted them, then fine, but
since I didn't see you post any in your defense, I'll have to assume that they
don't exist.
