Puzzle Description:
By writing that in the space, doesn't that mean they FAILED to leave it blank?

Yes it does Jake.
Thanks for the chuckle and the puzzle. :)
Blame it on the dang lawyers.#5: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Mar 27, 2008
A waste of paper!#6: Minnie Fuerstnau (m.fuerstnau) on Mar 28, 2008
Who would have thought a puzzle could be such fun?!? The comments are always the icing on the cake! Thanks, everyone!#7: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Mar 28, 2008 [SPOILER]
I love all the comments. The military uses that expression in their technical books. They write that to show there is not any missing info. As most technical orders are updated regularly, with pages being added/subtracted as needed; it helps ensure the info is correct. Not realizing that a page with needed information is missing could have a negative impact on the mission. Granted, you should be able to tell if into is not there, but.. just in case.#8: Gypso (Gypso) on Apr 1, 2008
Sorry for such a boring comment. The other comments are much more fun
Not boring at all Sarah. It had to be said. :D#9: Jane Doe (telly) on Aug 26, 2008
lol, and thanks for the clarification Sarah, makes total sense. BTW view topic #112 if you want to try something new. :D I think it sounds like fun.#10: Sylvain "WCPman" (qwerty) on Aug 26, 2008
thanks Telly help spread the word#11: Rich Garrard (KCRich) on May 26, 2009 [SPOILER]
Ya know... putting page numbers on the "blank" pages would make more sense than writing the whole thing out. But then again most phone companies usually use this on the back of page 3 of a bill as well.#12: GabrielMyCat (gabrielmycat) on May 24, 2011
me neither!#13: Susan Nagy (susannagy54) on May 24, 2018
Funny what I learn from these comments. Never having been in the military, I always thought it was for writing my own comments, or perhaps, for doodling.#14: Andrew Schulz (LPguy) on Oct 1, 2020 [SPOILER]
Also pertains to frequently-scanned documents because double-sided scanning always results in questionable outcomes of lost pages. Keeps sequence.#15: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Feb 17, 2024 [SPOILER]
Whoah! I was surprised to see "Andrew Schulz" commenting on this. I only just solved it now.
I remember this first from the InfoCom InvisiClues where they'd often have a very, very big clue box to reveal that would say nothing, so it was a false scent and discouraged people from trying to guess. I enjoyed the jokes the cluebooks played on me. It made them more worth it. I enjoyed revisiting an online version years later.
