You do not seem to understand that noone would put anybody down... In contrast, we would try to put everybody up...

Both do the same thing, one is just eaiser to read.

Doesn't readability matter? Since it does matter, the code becomes invalid according to reability preference of non-masochist people...
There is also a horizontal scroll which is a negative element of any design. (Here, we are designing the code...)

Still you are saying "putting down". You seem to be unable to understand how it's gonna be done, in spite of my best attempts at showing you a nice, friendly way of doing it. That is highly annoying.

Ah you see some people do it on purpose, they are not able to argumentize properly, so they will simply try to revert anything said by others against those who said it (esspecially if what was said is already obsolete), while repeating their own point of view over and over...
