I’m sure it could be done. My main thoughts were “something is better than nothing” and the New England Yankee in me not wanting to use twice as many pages to print content and a mess of action buttons and link text that meant nothing on a printed page. Not that paper and ink are all that expensive, just the same, why use 8 sheets when 4 will do?

\* to clarify, I personally do _not_ print topics, but others do. More of a “in their shoes” thing.
