As I've already explained, the indentation was originally there...

You know, when someone asks a question in an area where I'm skilled, I
don't attempt to make them feel like an idiot.  I either answer the
question, or politely explain why I can't answer it - or, if I simply
don't feel like being bothered, I don't post a response at all. 
"Newbies" have to learn somewhere - as far as I know, there is no one on
this planet who was born with complete knowledge of Ada, C++, COBOL, or
any other language.  I think it's very sad that people who want to learn
can't afford to ask a question of experienced users because of the risk
of being ridiculed.
