I admit, I hadn't realized the situation was a complex as it is. I had 
seen where people used only brackets, so I mentioned that, not knowing 
how many different styles I was leaving out :) It's probably because 
I've only been here a few months, and haven't seen all the discussion. 
Still, it's very interesting to me to hear all the different rules 
people use for their code blocks.

A very informative thread for me. I *hope* it didn't sound like a flame 
war :)
