OK, so 8 space tabs, ridiculously long variable names, unnecessary
nesting, hungarian notation, and insuffcient use of subfunctions
blows the 80 column limit too quickly.

So use more columns! When did you last use a VT100?

As for clarity, a consistent style is all that is required. Within bounds, it
doesn't matter so much what the style is. The assistance it gives in
reading other people's code is immense.

Programmers should be flexible enough to communicate in the local
dialect whether it be OTB, or something widly different.
