TABs (was: Waffling between Python and Ruby)

[Darrell Gallion]

I'm a strong believer in expanding tabs into four spaces.
Spaces reliably render even in email.

Not to mention the pain to edit a file with the tabs screwed up.
I use a script to strip the evil tabs and my life has been better for it :-)
