Rick, By using the larger indents (but not 8 chars…I use 5), the block structure becomes very clear (to me) and the "look up rule" where the closing brace is on the same level as the opening statement makes it clear (again to me) where the block starts and ends. Yes, the opening brace can get "lost" visualy if you've got a comment on the same line like this: if (something) { /* comment here "hides" the open brace */ foo(); bar(); baz(); /* comments here hide nothing */ } /* hopefully obvious close of the "if" */ But even with the visual losing of the open brace, the block structure of the code enforced by the indents should make it clear what comprises the block and by looking up in the same column as the close, it should also be obvious that I'm closing the "if". But again, it is all what you're used to. I prefer this style because it's the way I learned, and it seems intuitive to me. If you and Chris can live with each other…fine. That's all that's important..that each of you can read the other's code. Don
