The only way to end the formatting wars is to make a language that only 
has one way it can be formatted and make that way so horrendously ugly 
(no whitespace what so ever) that no one will ever look at code without 
reformatting it first. That way everyone will be forced to use automatic 
reformatting tools and everyone can get it formated the way they like. 
If you can't please everyone, drive them all nuts!

*Thank you* Walter for not being me!!!!!
