                   Easier and cleaner, therefore it's wrong

You see, both Mark [1] and I put opening parenthesis on their own line in our
zone files:

-----[ data ]-----
@       IN      SOA     ns1.molab.org.  spc.conman.org.
(
                       2000120101      ; Serial
                       43200           ; Refresh       (12h)
                       14400           ; Retry         ( 4h)
                       604800          ; Expire        ( 1w)
                       86400           ; Minimum TTL   ( 1d)
)
-----[ END OF LINE ]-----

Instead of the way nearly everyone else does it:

-----[ data ]-----
@       IN      SOA     ns1.molab.org.  spc.conman.org. (
                       2000120101      ; Serial
                       43200           ; Refresh       (12h)
                       14400           ; Retry         ( 4h)
                       604800          ; Expire        ( 1w)
                       86400)          ; Minimum TTL   ( 1d)
-----[ END OF LINE ]-----

It's cleaner and easier to read.

Of course that makes it wrong!

Sigh.
