Brackets schmackets. If it's a single statement I've never felt any
guilt of leaving out the brackets. I agree that the first piece of code
I posted was not the best possible since the entire if and alse clauses
were on a single line. However the second one I posted is just as good
as any other. With or without the extra spacing. They aren't that
important, you know... We're programmers, not women!

Oh, but you are. Come now, you could've easily revealed the "correct"
formatting right away and we wouldn't be having this stupid conversation
anyway. But no, you just wanted to see me try again and fail, and beg
you to reveal the correct answer.

Bollocks. It's just that you're used to something and I'm used to
something else. I do admit the first case was shitty, but really, how
dare you mock my second example? There was nothing wrong with it, period.
Okay, I'm a stupid asshole who can't format his code and can't take any
criticism. Fine, I'm okay with that. I'm sorry if I've ruined everyone's
day now.
