USER INFORMATION Attached to the

USER INFORMATION

Attached to the “Bulldog” chairs they’ve got all over this building is a little tag that explains how to make various adjustments to the seat, arms, back, and such.  At the bottom of the tag is a bold and high-contrast portion that appears very important.  It reads “User Information: installers do not remove.” Does this make sense?  Are they missing a comma, and just telling the installers not to remove the “user information”?  I choose to believe otherwise. “User information” thus becomes a clear drug reference.  The remaining phrase either means someone’s bogarting the buzz, or it’s a useful adage for those users out there who can’t remember who’s in charge of removing stuff.  I’d be looking into it more carefully, but my bulldog chair seems to pull to the left when I kick out down the hallway and I need to make some minor adjustments if I’m fixing to win the big race.
