I prefer two or four, usually two. Three is extremely disturbing to me
because it is not a multiple of two; in addition, due to the potato
incident as a child, I am forever mentally scarred and incapable of
pressing the spacebar three times without recalling the tangy,
nauseating smell of potato salad. Two or four shall be the number of
spaces in my config files. Three is right out, as is five.

Cheers,
Cody Jackson
