Hello,
The critical pattern for the Q&A databases is to have the FIRST and EVERY ODD line thereafter begin with the "@" character and represent the response to a remark, and the SECOND and EVERY EVEN line (designed to begin with a character-space) represent potential key trigger words for the remark above it. The script routines automatically append these items as pairs as Hal learns.
If the database deviates from this every-other-line pattern, it becomes unreadable, but as you've noticed, it can often be fixed by visually inspecting it.
The blank line you've added at the end might be the EVEN line that was missing from the last pair; the database does NOT require a blank line at the end, but it does require a line conforming to the paired pattern.
Unfortunately the forum software here sometimes changes spacing, but the pattern is very close to this:
@That's a fine kettle of fish, Stanley!

I am reasonably certain that by adding that blank line, you are merely restoring the pattern of a missing "even-numbered" line.
Have a good day!
Don
