Wes, 
I was not arguing with you. Simply adding a bit to the discussion.

It seems we are sometimes too eager to find arguments where none really
exists (like variable names vs. comments, which I really assume we all
agree are both useful. We then argue on drawing some verey fine line,
which is usally not something anyone can really define precisely).

Even so, as far as I can tell, this is one of the more eduacted and
informative groups.
