I'm not talking about having a semi-colon at the end of the last statment in a block. I'm talking about having a semi-colon AFTER the closing curly brace at the end of the block.

That was clear to me! Personally I never put a semicolon after a block. But then I often forget to put one at the end of an eval statement. So perhaps if I had a coding style that put a redundant semiclon after all blocks then I wouldn't forget them where necessary?
