Hi Ben,

I thought I had done that. I pointed out that LHS (whitespace) is 
significant when it comes to code structure but RHS seems significant 
when it comes to a condition structure (according to this PEP's 
recommendation). That inconsistency was my argument in the message you 
responded to.

And that's fair enough. I certainly have no desire to argue this until 
everyone agrees with me (which is what some people are accusing me of) - 
I'm just replying to those who keep saying "because PEP8".

I'm done with this thread.

BR,
E.
