That's true. I adapted most of the style of one of our outside contractors (though this developer didn't use true Hungarian notation, e.g. first and second letters for scope and type). However, two other contractors have their own coding style. We never had a discussion which one to choose and how to stick to it. Therefore it's quite easy now to find out, who wrote the particular piece of code just by looking at it...

My coding standards in most cases are the same, as Craig's. Some of mine I'm going to revise...
