Did you miss the smiley I buried between two sentences there? Having worked on code written with no style guidelines, I totally understand the need for consistent style. While I find a couple of style(9)'s edicts to be massively annoying, all in all I'd rather work on code that has a consistent style I hate than on code with no consistency. -- Ian _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
