I've been programming in C since 1979.

Too bloody right I do. Especially when they are optional!

   if (cond1)
       if (cond2)
           RtnA;
       else
           RtnB;
   
RtnB gets executed when NOT cond1, and cond2 has nothing to do with it! Which is
most confusing.

I too learned the value of consistant indentation sytle with C. I also now
always use braces with
if/for/while statements.

   if (cond1)
   {
       if (cond2)
       {
           RtnA;
       };
   }
   else
   {
      RtnB;
   }
