On a recent project, I delivered required reports on time but the template I had to use was too long and boring, so I shortened it.
No one commented, so I did it some more.
No comments, then I realized not one single person reads them, so I just stopped publishing them.
I still wrote them just in case, but I wanted to know how long before someone asked where was the report.
They never did, even after the project concluded 6 months later...

Hey Austin, we share the same sense of adventure. I actually went as far as adding Greeking in page 2-12, and no one noticed.
