If I want to compile the snippet, I will generally run it through indent(1) as part of the process if the whitespace looks like it might be a nuisance. Otherwise (i.e. if I don't want to compile it), my decision procedure is normally "does this code look readable without too much effort on my part?" If so, I'll live with whatever whitespace decisions the author made. If not, very often I'll just quietly skip to the next article. > About the only reformatting anyone does on posts is a "rewrap" to fix > bad line endings, and that /really/ screws up code snippets. I think there are only really two relevant problems inherent in Usenet-posted code. One is solved by using "short" " (or split)" " string literals", and the other is solved by using /* C comments */ rather than // BCPL[1] comments. Excuse me. I mean, the other is solved by using /* C90 comments */ rather than // C99 comments. So, if everybody follows those guidelines, there need be no problem whatsoever with line-wrap.
