+1 ;)

but i guess this is also why my space bar gets worn out much faster than my tab 
key as i have a huge muscle memory function that automatically hits the space 
bar twice when necessary :P

it is all martian to me... just like cell phones are /phones/... i just use 
spaces and get really frustrated with those things that use tabs because tabs 
always get different "space counts" depending on whatever... spaces are spaces 
are spaces and no one can dispute or complain about readability or formatting 
when using spaces for indention all the time ;)
