It's a matter of style for me. I like to set things up so that I can easily
modify them later. I find tacking on a scale on the end is easier to
comprehend, for me, than changing the parameters to the function. But, I'm
kindof a dimwit, and you can always tell that in my code (cough, production
code, Warp :-) ) because if I don't make it readable, I can't read it later
and I stop enjoying writing code. Think of me as a painter who loves to
paint but would never cut his ear off. That's why I enjoy reading these
newsgroups because everybody on it is more clever than I and I learn more
from that than reading documentation.
