Yeah but when you are the team, that is all out the door.

I understand what NP is saying though. I have revisited code I wrote
years ago. I know I must of been in 'the zone', because some of the

what I was thinking without comments (kind of wipes out the brilliant
part I know), was like an outer body experience.
