I wasn't talking about posting code to comp.lang.java.programmer. I was
discussing the use of programming standards in general. I haven't had
occasion yet to post any code here, but if I do, you can be assured it
will follow Java standards, just to avoid criticism from the
small-minded among you.

My format is better than the standard format. It is not, however,
"sociopathic". Just works for me.
