There's an incredible amount of information on this site. As I'm trying to get back into diving, and improve my knowledge and skills, I find myself here almost daily (if not more) setting the wayback machine to search out old threads on topics I'm curious about. Many of these discussions go on for many pages, which is fantastic. I often have four or five tabs open to different threads waiting to be read.

Is there any existing option, or any possibility of adding an option to create a "printable" version of an entire thread, or a mechanism to download the entire discussion as one document? I travel a lot for work, and it would be awesome if I could save a few of these longer discussions as PDFs to read offline on planes and such. I understand there's some conflict of interest in the idea, since the board is ad supported, and you'd essentially be removing X number of new page loads per thread downloaded, so perhaps make it a feature available to paying supporters only? I would gladly pay $40/year to have offline access to the information contained here. Lord knows I've paid that many times for a book that isn't nearly as diverse.
 
At this time we do not feel that the demand for this justifies installing the plug-in which minutely impacts system resources for al users.
 
Bummer! Thanks for considering it. Have to appreciate a place that listens to the little guy :thumb2:
