"(of course, they should on a separate line!)"
Aral, stop promoting that or I'll tickle you through my voodoo doll !
Now seriously, I am pro convention all the way, but the most important
thing is that it is a convention in the team you are working in. It is
impossible to get the whole world do the same thing, although that would
be great though (imagine there was only 1 programming language, 1
webserver, 1 operating system, etc). Getting you and your team on the
same track is a good start.
And in the end it is just a matter of personal taste. I personally don't
like the "{" on a seperate line because to me, it doesn't read that
easily. It is also confusing when you read a tech book that uses another
convention.
regards,
Christophe
