This story is written by a contributor:
As I was writing my thesis, I had to send a draft to my advisor while he was out of the country for a while. This was an advanced draft, so it was about 300 pages, and I sent it as a PDF, of course. Rather than using Acrobat's little comment widget feature to suggest revisions, my advisor insisted that he would rather print the whole thing out, and write his comments and suggestions in the margins with a pen. Of course, he's still in another country, so to get these revisions back, he would then have to scan his printed and revised copy back in as a PDF (at significantly reduced image quality, of course), and send it to me.
But he didn't even do that.
I just got his revisions back. Fifteen emails, each with a .rar archive attached. And what's in each one? Twenty. Fucking. JPEGs.
