I still remember when I started programming, I wrote in QBASIC without indentations. I honestly saw no reason to indent because I still can see the program flow as clearly as the bottom of a bucket of crystalline water. No decisions to be made, everything is consistently justified left. I still remember asking a friend, "Why is your code jagged like that?" and him looking at me a bit confused at the question. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
