I publish in pdf and in printed formats. The people who read the pdf do
indeed think that the empty left page is a mistake, even though it has a
header and footer. In fact, they print from the pdf. So I changed the
format to delete empty pages. I don't print often anymore, but when I do,
I have to force some empty left pages in order to get the chapters on the
right pages. Some day, if I convert to structured Framemaker, I'll just
use a "printing" style sheet and save myself some time.

Too often readers will suspect that there was a printing error if
there isn't SOME content on the page. Having headers and footers on
the page with no text between them only makes this type of person even
more prone to suspicion. Putting an "Intentionally Blank" notice on
the page helps to reduce the number of calls to the Help Desk, if
nothing else. If you don't like the paradox, you could simply reword
it. "Intentionally Devoid of Relevant Content" or somesuch.
