return in functions

I've written functions in javascript some which return values and some
which don't. In ones which don't I haven't bothered putting a 'return'
statement. Should I always return even if there's no value to return? E.g.

function foo() {
// do something here
return;
};

instead of

function foo() {
// do something here
};

Some people believe that adding a return to the end of every
function makes the code easier to read. Such people have no
business trying to read code.
