Please, HN people, stop linking to the print only versions. It takes me work to navigate back to the version that shows the publisher navigation conext, proper reading width, and makes the publisher happy that you linked to them. If I want to get an unformatted, often less tested version with missing images, I'll choose to click on 'printer version' myself.

- josefresco 18y agoI voted his comment back up as while I personally like to read printable versions, it's more socially responsible to link to the regular version so the publisher at least get's a chance at making some money from their ads (which sustains them and brings us kick ass articles like this in the future).
