Re: Source formatting issues while maintaining code

To me, having the code as readable as possible is more important than
assigning blame, so I would go with auto-formatting the whole code base as
suggested. In my experience, once you have an established standard for
laying out code, people will follow it, especially if its as easy as
clicking on an IDE menu item.
