Well you can think of it like this:

1. You might have job security by making it so hard for someone else to maintain that they can't fire you!

2. You might get yourself fired because you did the above!

Who cares everyone writes differently anyway. I mean I type while standing on my head which can cause some weird (and often unbeleivable) code

How do you hit the spacebar without thumbs anyway?

[wossname]

My spacebar doesn't have thumbs. What kind of weird KB are you using?

Like they used to say in the mainframe world, "If it is hard to code, then it should be hard to read!"

I don't comment my code until I have finished it. By that time I have forgotton what it does

[BodwadUK]

I am in fact very good now. I comment all my code.
