RE: More on RPG style

FWIW, I disagree with Dennis's statement of "It is considered bad form
to use NOT where avoidable". There are times when it can make a
statement too convoluted, and there are times when it's perfectly
acceptable. The goal should be to make your code as readable as
possible, not to make an arbitrary rule of "never do that."

Yeah, Dennis also disagrees, in retrospect. In the context of:
if not doThis
Then I still hold that the statement can be better written.

I'm really not wishy-washy on this. Yes I am. No, I'm NOT!
