Consider the environment before printing this e-mail

Even if you preface this with please, you still sound patronizing. And anyway, why do you think I would print your e-mail? Do you think you are SO insightful that I would print out every word you type and carry it around with me in a three ring binder? I don't think so. But I just might start printing out your e-mails and snail-mailing them to you... just to be an ass. Now that would be 44 cents well spent.
