Personally, I find that indenting config files by 3 spaces has a lot of advantages to indenting them by 4 spaces although conventional wisdom might suggest otherwise. Who's with me on this?

Who's with me on this?White space should be meaningless, but unnecessary changes to existing files destroy most intelligent attempts to track differences. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Who's with me on this?Three is evil, four even more. Two spaces and what do they say? It will keep sanity close and evil at bay. Three won't work, we all know she's a jerk. Four is a fail, it's missing a two so can never be the grail. Just two FTW! Anything more is just a deadly sin. Regards, Patrick
