> I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program ... that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me.

Why stop there, when you can route them directly to a print queue, and have the message sent to you in a bottle.

You should save your comment to read it back in 10 years. With how things are going with software and hardware attestation, printing will probably not be possible since most sites will disallow reproduction of their media through unauthorized devices, and printing something means relinquishing the power to control and monitor where and for whom the content is displayed.
