I'm Occasionally Asked For My Comments (but not in the way you think ;-) )
Please feel free to use my pro-forma comments, most of which are derived from the defaults or the ones shared here rather than being written from scratch by me (some are even identical):
- Import/access them in plaintext or jsonp (last updated 2 July 2013).
I do not claim original authorship of them, but if any of them turn out to be wrong or not very good, that is possibly my fault. :-)
