in reply to On Testing and Formatting Code

I tend to disclaim whether the code is known to be good or not. I've only posted small tidbits, and usually from a working program, in order to get around to my problem (like Referents Anonymous.) where I will write what I'm attempting to do.

But I tend not to write code in the majority of my posts, instead relying on the fact that theory translates better than code for problems we may all be facing at some point.

As for the braces problem, for verbs, the braces start on the line below, but subs keep the braces on the same row. It's actually got a method to the madness. In the case of a verb, the code may get executed, and thusly, I don't want to be led into the code by my eyes while I'm reading over it. In the case of a sub (although it has a verb name), once I get to a sub, it will be executed, and so I do want my eyes led into the code. It's a case of "I might" vs. "I will".

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!
