podlingOkay. Say I send you a spreadsheet to fill in weekly. I will quote part of the instructions here.
"Do not alter anything on the Weekly page (it automatically populates itself). Your weekly total will print out on the Wednesday page, there’s no need to even look at the Weekly page at all."
Now tell me, does this seem clear? Concise? An easy direction to follow, even? And upon reading it, do you think, "Huh, if *I* had that spreadsheet, I think I should go enter information on the Weekly page." What about DO NOT is hard to understand?!?
I'm just asking, for the sake of my sanity here.
EDIT: Okay, so it turns out the guy who filled it in wasn't given the instructions. And no, I have no idea why, though my thoughts run towards the boys all not getting along. It's like babysitting sometimes.
