Lua Code:

It's personal preference. This looks better to me:
Lua Code:
for i=1,select('#',...) do
msg=(msg~='' and msg..' ' or '')..tostring(select(i,...))
end
I only use spaces when absolutely necessary, and sometimes I don't even use returns. I usually just put a block onto one line if it's shorter than ~100 characters, but it depends on how it looks around other code.
Also, I refuse to use semicolons and unless I'm expecting apostrophes, I'll use single quotes.
