I hope that when people say "Real Programmers don't comment code" that they
are being humorous, or just kidding around. Assemble code for someone like
myself who has done a lot of coding, but done it a long time ago, is hard to
read. Good comments make it at least possible to follow what the author was
doing. I think if I were the boss, and someone wrote a lot of assmbler code
without comments, they would either change their ways, or find a different
job.
As to the comment I quoted below, if the code works, or does what it is
supposed to, it can't be all bad.

If You comment Your code You disclose how
smart - or dumb - the thoughts behind the
coding was. If there were any...
There could the reason for omitting comments
hide... ;)
