"Good" programmers can diagram the most obfuscated code.  It's part of the
job description.

Interesting. I hadn't heard of this before. I know you're somewhat joking,
but there's some truth to this as well - I've seen some pretty obfuscated
dialplans in my day. I'll keep it in mind, however I don't know how well
this would work with graphical diagrams. 

Thanks for the input, 
Matt
