I remember at a LUUG about 15 years ago: Dave Tilbrook asked those present to
show how they would code (in C) a simple if/then/else.

AFIR there were 14 of us, we came up with 13 different ways of doing it and
each of us was convinced that the way that we did it was 'the one true style'.

I still think that all of the others were wrong :-)
