[PHP-DOC] modifying user comments From: Philip Olson (philip <email protected>)
Date: 08/26/01

Hi. When I modify a user comment I tend to not leave an "editors note" but
rather rewrite/improve their comment and leave it as their own. I prefer
having strong comments versus weak (usually very lengthy) ones with an
attached editors note. Either that or I just delete the not-so-useful
comment.

Example, a user had something like "unlike PHP3, in PHP4, quotes are
automagically escaped" when really they don't realize what magic_quotes_gpc
is. So, I modified it. Same with some nasty code people leave, etc.

Anyone have words to share on this topic? Should I be leaving editors
notes instead? I see many of you do.

Regards,
Philip Olson
