Sorry, I'm going to nit-pick right back.  This isn't
"normal", it's just your preference.  :-)

When the "else" part contains braces, the "if"
part should as well.  If this get modified and
nested some day in the future, this can cause
a very subtle coding error.

No one should ever be criticized for using too
many braces, provided it is artistically pleasing.

"Normally," the if-else without braces is only
used when there are single statements on
both paths of the logic.  The only exception
is the else-if that emulates a case statement
(when other exceptions also apply, see K&R).

Thanks.
