[CSIS201] Question about goodData = False

[Brent Wilson]

STOP!!!!!! If you use the if statement that LeRoy suggested below to get out
of a loop I¹ll pull your eyebrows off.  That is very bad form. You should
NEVER have to break out of a loop. If you do... Then you didn¹t design the
loop correctly to begin with. Do it right the first time and then you don¹t
have to use some hack to make it work.

Have a nice evening...
