:::: I wasn't accusing anyone of anything, just stating why I'd done what I'd done. I don't want to see an edit-war either, so if it happens again, my first suggestion would be a community coding style. I know what my preferences are, but when I teach programming, I stress consistency over any one style, so I have no problem with the idea. (I'm just a TA, so don't take that as me trying to lend weight to my arguments.) If not a style guide, my second suggestion would be to not make purely stylistic changes to existing code.

::::: Sorry if I sounded a bit short; most of my wiki edits are in a few spare minutes here and there, so after a few rounds of quick edits and rewrites, my prose can ultimately sound worse than it started... I'm familiar with the TA role; [[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] is a former TA from RIT, and has been heavily involved with RC for three or four years, now. I think he suggested elsewhere following the model of [[J/HouseStyle]], as far as developing a community style. I'm beginning to see a need for that, I suppose; better to have the debate and discussion over style in one place, than in dozens of places. I suppose the C++ page would be at [[C++/HouseStyle]] --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 15:30, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
