Let me start a new one. I would still put in some kind of explicit indicator
of the end of the grouping construct:
count = 99
while count > 0:
print u'%d slabs of spam in my mail!' % count
print u'%d slabs of spam,' % count
print u'Send one to abuse and Just Hit Delete,'
count += 1
print u'%d slabs of spam in my mail!' % count
print u''
#end while
</pre>

I'd much prefer the following :<br>
<br>
## Beginning of a program block<br>
count = 99 # Set the variable count as a name for the
integer object 99<br>
while count > 0: # if count is the name of 0 or less
then exit the loop (this will NEVER happen)<br>
## Beginning of a while loop<br>
print u'%d slabs of spam in my mail!' % count<br>
print u'%d slabs of spam,' % count<br>
print u'Send one to abuse and Just Hit Delete,'<br>
count += 1<br>
print u'%d slabs of spam in my mail!' % count<br>
print u''<br>
## End of a while loop<br>
## End of a program block<br>
<br>
Which is reeeaaally easier to understand than :<br>
<br>
count = 99<br>
while True<br>
print u'%d slabs of spam in my mail!' % count<br>
print u'%d slabs of spam,' % count<br>
print u'Send one to abuse and Just Hit Delete,'<br>
count += 1<br>
print u'%d slabs of spam in my mail!' % count<br>
print u''<br>
