Look, you seem to have lost the point. It's not about how you write your
code. It's about how to improve your chances of getting a decent
response when posting your code in a newsgroup.
If you put the code in there with absolutely no indentaion, then about
80 percent of the really experienced programmers won't even bother
reading it. Why should they invest the time? "Ah no! Can't even read it.
Not even indented. Must be a terribly stupid programmer with a terribly
stupid problem => Get coffee, continue coding!"
There are tools automating the process of indenting code. If you don't
want to indent YOUR code, that's fine. But properly formatted code is a
key to succesful discussions.
