[bugs] Discussing programming style is tantamount to discussing religion. I have mine. You have your's. However, if one limits the discussion to styles of indention then perhaps a quantitative judgement could be made. I don't mean a popularity poll. With some moderate effort. Probably equivalent to a senior project in psychology. The affect of these different styles on readability, block chunking or (your favorite factor goes here) could be gaged. Any seniors out there needing a project? Go for it. Solid, statistically significant results would be enough for this professional to change his style. Unless mine would be found to be the "best". :-> Ken Warner
