Put a single space in the post body. Or a million spaces, for that matter. It’ll still be empty. Any more pearls for us Anniz? 😉 ---

We’ve had blank posts, blank titles, and blank posters. While most of these have resulted from spastic keystrokes, several have been deliberate. In general, they are frowned upon by management.

Wow, you got off easy. If it had been somebody else, I think we would have heard the calls for the rubber hoses and phone books. There’s no justice in this world. ---
