Right! Anywhere you are offered a choice about what to write, you can use that choice to communicate something. Best is when the message comes through without need to read text. Whitespace is such a choice. Used judiciously, whitespace and its absence can call attention to organizational choices. Used injudiciously, it loses all useful meaning. People who splatter whitespace everywhere -- a blank line above and below every line of code, every parenthesis with a space before and after -- communicate only their contempt for the reader.
