Hi Alexandre,

Well i don't blame you in particular, i know most of us sincerely want
progress, sorry if i sounded harsh. It's just the global "there's no
alternative" trend that is hard to hear for me. At least here i'm
glad we moved from there to considering recycled paper.
Thank you for moving this topic to a separate thread. I am not
particularly against finding ways to be more eco-friendly, but in
principle I would like to be able to keep the focus of any particular
thread to the intended topic so that the discussion does not get derailed.
On the topic of being eco-friendly, I am with Charlie here, in that I
also find a bit of irony in the fact that this paper waste issue is
being raised at a forum that belongs to a technology sector that in
general can be considered to be very wasteful and echo-unfriendly in itself.
Not that that I think that we should not be conscious on the use of
paper, but really, there are many many more things in the technology
sector that are way more wasteful and eco-unfriendly than giving out
some fliers at a conference.
Cheers!
Jorge/aka Koki
