That having been said, the addition of the brackets certainly makes it more readable and, if you ever have to add another statement into the block, it makes it much easier to do it quickly.

This is the best thing about CD. One can admit their shortcomings and not be ridiculed for them. Instead, they receive an education.

Thanks for helping me (us) out on this!
