I wasn't questioning your taste; I just dislike that style a great deal,
and since my own is very neat (readable, repeatable) also, I don't like
being forced to write to that style. I think the benefit (if one *does*
keep to a clear style, just not *that* one) is very questionable.
I think keeping to a clear, readable style is quite important; I think
keeping to *your* version of that style is xenophobic.
