#156828 - there is a famous story
Responding to: ???'s previous message
this 'developer' made some "fast code" 'tested' it, collected his pay and and went fishing [editors note] before the event of the cellphone[end editors note]. the poor sod that had to try to figure out the mess found ONE commented line (I do not remember the complete line, just the essentials):
... 3225 ... ;jsb
guessing that figuring out this cryptical comment would lead to some insight he figured and figured until someone told him "that is the year Johann Sebasian Bach was born in octal".
