I'm glad I'm not alone experiencing this.
One of the core open source projects I use has taken a no comments stance because "the code speaks for itself". It does if you're a core contributor, but if you dive in less frequently it takes a while to grok what's going on and re-build the mental model. Comments would reduce that.
Thanks for all you've done Salvatore, and for your blogging. Your enthusiasm puts the fun back into my programming!
