I'd rather have a link to the actual Atlantic web page for this story, not the Print view. It's at http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/05/how-the-professor-who-fooled-wikipedia-got-caught-by-reddit/257134/ http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/05/how-th...
I think directly linking to the print view is dishonest: telling the Atlantic you plan to print an article, and instead posting it to HN is essentially stealing their ad revenue.
PS: Even if you claim ads are distracting and this is actually a service to the community, I'd rather install ad blockers and make such decisions myself.

- masklinn 14y agoI often prefer print pages for BI-type "articles" where 300 works are split across 5 different pages, but yeah in this case the article is a single page originally, and the site's own chrome isn't overbearing. There was no reason to link to the print version.
