LOL, Buck - you would have to find all kinds of "bad" practices for me!

I do try to put spaces around operators. That doesn't take care of
parentheses, where I **don't** usually add spaces.

I don't think any coding style is bad per se. The compilers don't care
about white space; why should we?

We care because none of our editors is 'variable-aware'. And so because
we can't 'search for variable named customerID', we write our source
code to include extra spaces:

count = getCount ( customerID );

We structure our code to suit our editor instead of structuring our code
to suit ourselves. That doesn't seem optimal.
