Linus Torvalds在Linux内核邮件开发者列表上再次发飙，将部分程序员偏爱的代码注解标点格式称为“脑残”。他强烈反对的注解格式类似：

/* This is disgusting drug-induced
* crap, and should die
*/
和

/* This is also very nasty
* and visually unbalanced */

他个人支持的格式类似：

/* This is a comment */和/*
* This is also a comment, but it can now be cleanly
* split over multiple lines
*/
