Why did they publish 'blank' pages

Megan, in a recent post (and probably every other post, but I wasn't
looking) has included in her sig line the following text;

+--------------------------------+-------------------------------------+
| Megan Gentry, EMT/B, PP-ASEL | email: mbg at world.std.com |
| | |
| "this space | (s/ at /_at_/) |
| unavoidably left blank" | URL: http://world.std.com/~mbg/ |
| | "pdp-11 programmer - some assembler |
| (DEC '77-'98) | required." - mbg KB1FCA |
+--------------------------------+-------------------------------------+

Can anybody shed some light on the origin and use of the term "This space
intenionally left blank"?

regards


Doug Jackson
