Who the fuck prints email anymore?

Right, no paper trail.

R1, people who want a record.

You can always backup / archive the files. There's really no advantage to having every little thing printed on paper.

R3 because email can't be archived or saved as a PDF? Backed up to external drives and the cloud?

Stupid people who want to wave it in someone else's face because: "I need your help with this. Right away. Immediately. I'm important. I'm sooo very important! Help me! HELP ME!" etc. Or at least that's how it works in an office.

Power goes out, files get lost. Paper is still important especially if you get into legal trouble.

I hope to god when I get older I don't lose touch with modern technology along the way, Printing an email is like sending a fax. Ridiculously out of touch.

R7 - yikes - "power goes out" does not mean your files are lost. I have a backup of every single thing I need (actually 2). Papers being lost is a much more likely scenario than digital copies (and their backups) being deleted.

JFC.

Sending an email is like sending a fax, you just don't waste paper, time, etc. doing it like you do when you fax something.

[quote]files get lost.

Because people don't save their work or back anything up properly.

you're not paying for the paper, bitch. I'll print whatever I want.

Oh, to be old and out of touch.

Please don't tell me how to run my office.

Virtue-signalling. That's all it is. Virtue-signalling.

That’s an obnoxious email signature but for real who the fuck prints out email?? Weird.

R10 step away from the typewriter and filmstrip projector.

I purposely ask for plastic bags at the store. I make sure to let the cashier know that I am going to empty my cats litter box in them and that I set it on fire and throw it out the window. The look of horror on their face and the surrounding customers makes it more than worth it.

Law firms sometimes print emails & keep patient files separate from less relevant communications, though most case management software is electronic. To that end, that signature makes it longer and uses more paper as does the nonsensical "This email was intended for the recipient only....destroy it immediately or die"

Barking up the wrong tree.

I’ve considered it.

I, myself, hate the environment.

What of it?
