Jared,
For comment lines that wrap to a second line because they are at the end of
a line of code,
I like to move the comment to the line above the line of code to avoid the
broken line. To each his own.

Thanks for the tips, and with expressions that does make a lot of sense.
Currently my conventions are dictated by no-one but me, but I just
wanted to get a feel for if there are any widely accepted guidelines for
this. My biggest issues is with comments that wrap onto the next line, I
suppose. I write overly verbose comments maybe. *smile*
