| OK, now you've gone too far. I'm just going to have to kill you. Sorry
| 'bout that.

| with that style, and re-indent it all, it makes one hell of a cvs diff.
That's funny you say that. I inherited a codebase from a very smart russian
programmer who indented that way. Or something similar, I don't remember
off hand. At first I ignored it, then I got to where I had to 'fix' at
least the code on the screen around what I was working on. Now I have given
up. :) But once I fix it or write it, it becomes Allman (BSD) style C.
As far as the diffs? Well, I let Sore-Safe take care of that. :)
I do enjoy my petty torments.
