Oops, made a small mistake there. Fixed my previous post.
At the comment about it being a programming style: The only style it could be classified is as "lack of programmigng style". Indentation is a very important aspect of programming, which is why I label code that lacks indentation completely as "bad", and programmers who chose to ignore indentation as "bad programmers". I actually work in the industry, which is why I completely disagree with the comment about "style not being important", and even more so when you release a script as a resource for others to learn from. Code that is not indented is difficult to read, to comprehend, to maintain etc.
]Kurence[: That comment about black people is as wrong as it is inappropriate. A more fitting comparison would be a badly manufactured table, where edges stick out, it's crooked etc.. It still has the functionality of a table (you can place it in a room and put stuff on it), but the quality of the overal object is not good. An even more fitting one would be to write an essay and then remove all the new-lines, all the empty lines, all the capital letters and punctuation. Basically, remove all the formatting. The text still contains everything of the original, but it has become completely unreadable and potentially useless to people who want to do more to it than copy-and-paste it.
