Everyone has their own opinion on coding standards. I'm of the opinion that coding standards are bunk and any programmer worth his paycheck can read code no matter how it is indented or where the friggin squirly brackets are placed. If the owner of a project chooses to enforce certain ones, though, then contributors to the project should abide by them. Otherwise, do whatever you want with your own stuff. But, since most people have very strong opinions on this matter, I realize that this argument is going to just get worse if continued. Can we end it now, please? Thanks.
