  15. Don't you think that coding style is really too full of personal preferences to ever 
  16. successfully debate it with someone else; because we think differently and approach 
  17. problems differently, there's no guarantee that what works for one person is good 
  18. for anyone else.

  20. HN has always seemed, to me, to be a substitute for fully descriptive (long) 
  21. variable names and for comprehensive inline documentation. But then, I type well, so 
  22. I'm not looking for shorthand styles which, I feel, reduce readability.
