Today, I had occasion to add a comment to a stored procedure. Can you tell exactly how happy I was about it?

--
-- IMPORTANT!!!!!
--
-- This procedure has been replaced with **name witheld**
--
-- Any modifications made to this procedure will not take effect in the live
-- system.  You'd be wasting your time, just like I did today and let me tell
-- you, it's really, really annoying to put the effort into changing a
-- deprecated procedure becuase nobody though to put a comment in, or better still
-- to remove the procedure altogether.
-- Of course, the logical thing to do would be to make the changes to the
-- existing code rather rather than complicate matters with a new procedure,
-- but then that would be too sensible, wouldn't it?
