Comment on Ask HN: Readability loves readers, but at what cost to authors?parent

Comments

I agree - at least in regard to material that should be immutable (e.g., approved minutes to a meeting).

But for blog posts... It's not a matter of locking it down ... it's a matter of getting the attribution included.

And for most blog authors... they are not responsible (or capable of taking charge of) the formatting of a page - since they use blogspot, blogger, or other 3rd party systems. So another way to ask the question would be: shouldn't those systems provide better services to their bloggers (or shouldn't bloggers be aware how awful their blogs print from those services) and offer more reader-friendly print css?
