Well, I most certainly disagree with that, of course, but you gotta  
admit that there's something really charming about running an auto- 
formatting script on a large piece of C code, turning it from an  
unreadable mess into a beautifully indented and organized document. I  
actually sometimes intentionally programmed ugly code so that I could  
do that. I kind of miss it. :)
