Maybe we should start by making a rule to attribute quotes :)

I am not religious about it - you are right - just stick to one.

Except for the bit where someone thinks that

public Foo() {
  i = 0;
}

is good style for method declarations. I think it's pretty ugly.

Oh - and I like
/*
 * comment
 */

for anything but end-of-line comments, reserving the 
//
//
// 

for commenting out code. Makes it easy to scan over code that way,
especially with syntax colorization.
