Admissions
I'm updating some old docs we converted to SGML and just noticed the following comment in an example:
/* * Perform other work while polling for results. This * doesn't do anything useful, but it could. */
That comment precedes a placeholder function, but you've got to wonder about the scope the original author actually had in mind. Who was it who first said, "Honesty is the best policy?"

I'm having trouble reading your "literal" markup on this blog, it comes out very small courier (Moz 1.7.2) and in very light gray (IE 6.0) for me. Courier is better when it's a bit bigger.
Thanks,
Andy

Interesting. The literal markup in this one is using <pre>, as in:
<pre>
/*
* Perform other work while polling for results. This
* doesn't do anything useful, but it could.
*/
</pre>
Maybe I should fix the stylesheet?
