Don't you think that coding style is really too full of personal preferences to ever 
successfully debate it with someone else; because we think differently and approach 
problems differently, there's no guarantee that what works for one person is good 
for anyone else.

HN has always seemed, to me, to be a substitute for fully descriptive (long) 
variable names and for comprehensive inline documentation. But then, I type well, so 
I'm not looking for shorthand styles which, I feel, reduce readability.
