LOL. I couldn't figure out what was different about those lines (the
extra space
apparently; the fact that the text isn't monospaced makes it harder to
see
though). But no one's over going to get people to agree on spacing any
more than
they'll get them to agree on braces. Personally, I generally don't have
extraneous spaces but will periodically line up variable declarations
with
regards to names (which would require no work here because they're all
auto and
line up anyway). Other folks I know insist on always putting extra
spaces after
keywords like if and/or putting extra spaces before or after parens.
Trying to
convince anyone about spacing is a waste of time, and I'd say that
suggesting
that spacing be altered in code is generally a waste of time unless
there's
something abnormally bad about it (like 10 spaces after every paren or
something
ridiculous like that).

IMHO this is a good example why inconsistencies are sometimes necessary.
I don't put spaces into random places either but this example is crying
for attention :)
