Sorry, I never really got into the reason of "not" using { }'s.

The way I learned to use { } was for cases like..:
stuff {
if (statement) { command }
if (statement) { command }
if (statement) { command }
}

And the case to not use { } would be..

stuff {
if (statement) command
}

Since mIRC's been sometimes freezing, and I have to Ctrl Break over and over, I figured I should add a { } for every if (statement) command?
