I pretty much always put a blank line before return statements precisely so 
that they're visibly separate from the rest of the code. It's the same reason
why I pretty much always have a blank line after vairable declarations or
before or after if blocks or loops. It's less of a big deal in this
particular case, because there's only one line of code above it, but I pretty 
much agree with Brad's reasoning on this. Blank lines are good for logically
separating out sections of code, and I use them for that quite a bit.
