Re: [Tsheetx-developers] if else bracketing

Breaking your hand, that sucks, wishing you a speedy recovery.

Yeah, I see the point about Mantis.

Codestyle:  I'm not upset about the "cuddled / uncuddled elses", but my
first instinct is to go fix them all, and I realize that' not what I should
be spending my time doing. So I was hoping that if Mark was amicable toward
keeping elses cuddled, he would simply stop uncuddling the elses.  I do
think that, in general, when working on an open source project, new people
should attempt to abide by whatever existing style already exists, so long
as that style is relatively sensible and consistent.
