I have always admired this kind of 'Epimenidean' paradox.
Are you also including web pages that say, 'This page does not exist?'

Thank you Spiff! 'Phone switch' - zat's ze term I found for the places where the major telephone backbone lines meet. Please, what do you call it then?
Alluding to IBM? Noooooh, *never*! (greetings from Kubrick...) 
Ok, I'll give it a polish this afternoon.

Brilliant, Bossel! It's at times like this that I wish they'd hurry up and give us the 
smiley! Apart from those bits of Denglish that have already been noted, I can't fault it.

*please* fix this so it doesn't screw around with browser formatting... 
hint: remove the tag. If you want to get a fixed-width effect, use , which is the tag you're meant to use for that effect.
Personally, I think you come out too harshly on intentionally blank pages, and you could use some meandering about intentionally blank lists and similar, where the arguments are more convincing. For example:
--
blah blah blah
things I hate about Bossel
Why the world is round
blah blah blah
--
Will confuse people - they might think I hate Bossel because the world is round, for example. Better would be:
--
blah blah blah
things I hate about Bossel
This section intentionally left blank
Why the world is round
blah blah blah
--
So there!

Lucinda - IMHO the thing is a bit out of scope here.
You've got a point there, Hobbes I saw the posting in the AWW but then my machine crashed...
