Curly Should curly braces appear on their own line or not?

##Moderator Message

Should curly braces be on their own line or not? What do you think about it?

if (you.hasAnswer()) {
    you.postAnswer();
} else {
    you.doSomething();
}

or should it be

if (you.hasAnswer())
{
    you.postAnswer();
}
else
{
    you.doSomething();
}

or even

if (you.hasAnswer())
    you.postAnswer();
else
    you.doSomething();

Please be constructive! Explain why, share experiences, back it up with facts and references... ;-)
