For example, in my post to which you replied, I discussed at
some length how I like to split for loops if they're too long.
You snipped that discussion *and then* insinuated that I don't care
about complex loops written on one line.  Please stop doing things
like that.

Well I care about it too, and I would write such things more sensibly
as well. But so what? Most code I see tends to be badly
formatted. For-headers are not split up unless they're long enough to
overflow the line.

It's something about the culture behind 'for' that encourages poor

 Did you miss my point, or did you deliberately ignore it?
 You snipped part of my text in which I discussed how I like to split
long for loops.  You then insinuated that I personally don't care
about complex loops written on one line, after I clearly demonstrated
that I do, and you hid the evidence.
 I'm asking you to stop doing that kind of thing.
 I'm making a point, not about technical disagreements, but about you,
deliberately or otherwise, misrepresenting what I've written.
 

I think my comments above stand.
Of course, everybody here (me included) will claim their own code is cleanly laid out; it's everybody else's that is the problem.
