I've seen way too many bugs over the years where somebody inserted another statement, "properly" indented, expecting it to be executed along with the original one. Our current stance on this issue is assinine and self-defeating. On the other hand, every project really needs a style guide and even a bad one is better than none at all. I'll follow what we have and keep lobbying to get it fixed. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
