[brlug-general] insane coding practices

[Edmund Cramp]

Wonderful!  

Memory lane back 20 years to the programmer who alternated commenting code blocks in English and Thai, another one named all his variables "magic_factor_nnn", while the cake goes to the guy who wrote FORTRAN programs in Pascal - and all three of these were working on different sections of the same program.
