I am subscribed to various governmental listservs which range from the Republican-led Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure complaining about the government, to a daily Government Accountability Office Reports digest. The mailing lists generally aren’t glamorous, fairly boring, and often not so interesting (unless they call the Governor of New Jersey a liar), but they are a good source of information.

Every now and again they make me laugh, like today’s GAO Digest, which contained this gem:

Just like the [This Page Intentionally Left Blank] inscription in governmental reports, this is probably a response to people misconstruing no email as not receiving the ever-important email in error, or malice.

Call it an idiot workaround.
