Nor did I mean to claim that it actually was a statement...
I was implying that I would treat that particular declaration as if it were
a statement.
In retrospect, I should have left the last part of the post off completely
as I'd already
(appropriately) stated that for me personally I separate declarations from
statements
for code aesthetics, and no other reason. When it looks better with a blank
line, it
gets a blank line...

Can I assume (based on the fact that you snipped about 90% of my previous
post)
that you agreed with everything else I had written?
