Please do not link to the print version of pages. Most of us are not reading on printers. If we do want to print the article, we are capable of doing so without your help.

The print version formatting generally makes the article much harder to read on screens. For example, the column width is such that the text is very small on mobile devices and the lines are long enough that zooming makes ot so massive horizontal scrolling is required.

And I say the opposite. If we want the article split across multiple pages and riddled with ads, we're smart enough to find it on the site. (Or hand-edit the URL.)

If you are so smart, why can't you just hit the "print" link on the regular page?

How is it better to make those of us who want to actually READ the article go through multiple steps (dealing with the print dialog, then either finding a link to the regular page or hand editing the URL), as opposed to making you go though a single simple step of one extra click?

The same could be said for the other camp. Give it a rest; he chose one version to post that you didn't happen to like, many do.
