Yeah but when you are the team, that is all out the door.

I understand what NP is saying though.  I have revisited code I wrote 
years ago.  I know I must of been in 'the zone', because some of the 
algorithms (some) where just short of brilliant and trying to figure out 
what I was thinking without comments (kind of wipes out the brilliant 
part I know), was like an outer body experience.
