P.S. we have a dragon, and a chicken and are not afraid to use them.

You could learn a bit of tolerance and use a search engine that doesn't try to profile you like https://ixquick.com./

Which bit of the software are we talking about? Presentation layer? Business layer? Service layer? Persistence layer?
Each of these needs have input of varying degrees from different populations, so the users have important things to say about the presentation layer but I am not sure I would want them anywhere near the persistence layer.
Stupid question really.

Blimey! That's a great deal of effort to go to - I didn't realise I was talking to an SME.
I don't expect you change your mind based on anecdeotal evidence posted up by a stranger on the internet - that'd be silly. I suppose you checked out Belle de Jour? Other than that I can't think of any online resources to point you towards.
Anyhow, my friends, whilst not being entirely sparkly clean, are hardly a scourge on society either - just like pretty much everyone else in the world.
And they're NOT the kind of people who act as a warm, wet, hole - they're services are for an entirely more discerning kind of customer.
Point of order sir. I have a number of friends who work in the adult services industry and they are certainly not the disease-ridden, duplicitious individuals you are generalising them to be.

I'm not sure that paying someone a fair price for a product (which is what fair trade aims to do) constitutes giving them aid.
Really? That's not the medicine that I recognise. It seems to be more along the lines of 'this looks about right so we'll give it to some people and see what happens'. There seems to be very limited understanding of how the drug actually works and interacts with other compounds in the body.
In that ways it's a lot like climate - both deal with large. complex, only partially understood systems. Both get reasonable results most of the time. Both acknowledge there are gaps and both are workign to close those gaps.
Possibly, but there's evidence (http://www.rodaleinstitute.org/fst30years) to the contrary.
Whilst I agree with you that, in general, comments that explain the intent are always to be welcomed, your example is not so good. You'd define a constant called REVERSAL_OF_CREDIT, set to 3 and possibly another one called DEBIT_ENTRY your SELECT becomes:
select blah from foo where trans_type = REVERSAL_OF_CREDIT
or even more clearly (as reversal of credit is a bit of a double negative)
select blah from foo where trans_type = DEBIT_ENTRY
