FWIW, I was looking at this earlier post of yours a couple of days ago and, like ikegami, I didn't initially fathom the pattern of indenting you used. Once I understood your convention, the code was perfectly readable but, at first glance, the indenting style was not obvious and the code was as a consequence difficult to access.

This is not meant as a criticism, just an observation following on from ikegami's post. Your indenting is perfectly logical and consistent but unusual. We all have our own coding styles and foibles and I'd hate to work somewhere where I was forced to conform to someone else's idea of good style.

Cheers,
