I knew of someone once who was so dumb that he used
to jump over comments in his assembler code. Does
that count?

Yes, but it's not quite as good as the code in a well known company's office automation product. The people that wrote it seemed to think that comments destroyed the frame pointer, so they reloaded it after almost every comment. Doug Hosking Convex Computer Corp. Richardson, TX
