It's informing us that it's not information, which is -- by definition... information.<br /><br />When I'd ask him why something was (or what something was for), my dad used to say, "To make you ask questions."<br /><br />Usually what he meant was either "I don't know" or "It would take way longer to explain than I have time for right this minute." But from a philosophical point of view, he was quite correct. Obviously. Because there I was asking questions.Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-30992334936020230772010-05-03T23:20:45.012-04:002010-05-03T23:20:45.012-04:00Perhaps there was one pane left uncovered and this...Perhaps there was one pane left uncovered and this was all they could think of to "keep it uniform".

I imagine it is the tired response from an overworked member of staff in an open plan office who is fed up with being asked for information... <br /><br />It sound like the sort of thing you would have had in a Monty Python sketch from the 70s.momemts in timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723725230232311583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-62648441088333206442010-05-02T17:27:28.939-04:002010-05-02T17:27:28.939-04:00Good grief!
