   That is why I don't like Whitesmiths   
      
   To me the curly braces should logically align with the preceding statement.   
      
   When I first looked at he example, I immediately thought there is a   
   missing closing brace, which of course there isn't.   
      
   I also dislike putting the opening brace at the end of the preceding   
   line, although I have had to in some cases. Probably a Microsoft invention
