Absolutely.  I was talking only about my own code, and code which I
modify falls under a different set of rules.  Basically, I just use
whatever "style" the author is already using, even if there are no
spaces between operators and they've written code which looks like:
``for(i=0;i<10;i++) blah;'' :-)

It would be far too confusing otherwise to be reading through some
body of code and suddenly see that for a short block in the middle,
the style has just changed completely.  Code which I *adopt*, of
course, goes through my emacs re-indenting and formatting elisp
function. :)
