 		 #170011 - Comments first, then discussing intention/reality
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Yes, it is sequences like the following that make us a bit unhappy:
Save This Code
        RETI

SKIP:
        MOV     SBUF,DPH
        RETI
FINISH: RETI

SKIP: isn't used.
FINISH: isn't used.
There are a lot of RETI randomly placed.

But it doesn't feel meaningful to discuss the code until the code has been augmented with comments describing what the intention was.

Then we can debate if the code matches the intentions, and where they deviate.

Right now, we can either complain about a large number of random lines which will not really help.
Or we can post a completely rewritten code, which will not really help either.
