 > I truly detest code written with a normal indent setting != 8.
 
 I don't have a problem with 4-space indents (but it took me a while to 
 get used to them).  What I can't abide is people who don't understand 
 is that "tab stops are every 8 spaces" is a constant of the universe, 
 and try to use tabs for 4-space indents.
