Okay, you've got me beat. I guess I don't have quite as high standards as you and Alfred, nor do I use those wonderfully pedantic editing tools that display these stylistic solecisms in bright yellow. (They don't blink and beep too, do they? ;-) I work at various times on code in many styles in about half a dozen languages, so things I consider unreadable are more likely to include two-space indents and wrapped lines. I can see that I won't be able to argue with the status quo on this one, but I would still prefer it if people cut down on fixing the smaller nits, except in the vicinity of recent content changes. (Bruce, your practice of getting people to address these issues right away works great, I think.)
