I looked at some of my code and it's pretty much comment free. There are a 
couple of .c files with comments that I reused from another project that 
have somebody's comments.

I had a tendency to clone similar projects and inherit some code that I 
could tweak so the final executable did one thing well. We had a couple of 
nightmares that originally did one thing well but for the next project the 
programmer said 'That's close to what I need. A few configuration values 
here and there and it will work.'  The next time around it got some more 
configuration values to do something else.  I have a Swiss Army knife I 
found; it's in the junk drawer.
