why didnt you fix the indention after the students if you belive that its
not their job? also i said clearly on svn log that ill fix the indention if
the student doesnt. and i think ive done enough work reviewing their patches
often with only half or less of the comments taken care of

furthermore as you surely are aware i did very significant cleanup work
on the students code after it was commited, i dont remember a single commit
from you cleaning up any students code nor do i remember you reviewing much

knowing the specs doesnt tell me the reasons behind your patch ...
