    Post Use Code Tags!

    Note to people posting:

    Please use code tags when you post code!!! It preserves spacing and makes code infinitely more readable!

    I truly don't see any reason why it makes one difference or another...

    Well, master, is it easier to debug a couple hundred lines of code without leading spaces or with proper indentation? One function in the program I'm writing now had about 40 nested statements. Do you want to count all the chicken lips to make sure they're there, or do you want to just check the spacing to make sure they're there?

    That seems to be a pretty solid argument. Actually, before I read this i didn't even know the syntax for the code tags.
