DougDbug,
Some people may ridicule, not all. Excluding the curly braces from a single statement following an 'IF' is perfectly acceptable, but it doesn't make it "better" code.
Now to the bigger issue, SumeragiSubaru.
This is a cross-post.
Prelude already addressed the nested 'ELSE...IF', question with you. In fact, she was quite clear in her explanation and I'm confident that she would have taken the time to explain it differently if you had indicated that you didn't understand.
If this was an inadvertent error on your part, you can edit/delete your post. Otherwise, please, don't do this. It's not good form.
