Not really looking to fight about anything here. It's just that the point of the wiki is to help new users and aspiring scripters look for a reference point of information which accurately documents the language. It's not a place to discuss the personal preferences in scripting styles. I'm not some person out on a rampage demanding blood of all those who may format their scripts with an unconventional style, everyone has their own personal preferences. The wiki however is not the place to express those, or at the very least not on an LSL reference page. LSL is a derivative of C, and C based languages interpret code in what is represented with the Allman's style of formatting. That's just how C is. Does that mean that anything other than that is less viable? Of course not. There are plenty of times where Obsfucated C can have it's purposes, but surely we can agree that place is not on an article helping new users approach their first steps into LSL and instead that's for discussion in personal groups or userpages. K&R belongs on a wiki or documentation for JS based languages or in your personal scripting projects that aren't posted onto what is supposed to be a documentation for the language.
