Yes we sure are.
I use whitespace a lot. Your second line below is common for me too.
We were talking more about 'structuring' like-syntaxed multiple lines for readability.

It remains my opinion that keeping a 'standard structure' of code in generl help maintenance by improving readability. The idea that it takes extra time (for virtually no return AT THE MOMENT) is not a valid argument to me.

Of course, if no one is ever going to read your code, do it however pleases you < s >
