Why the HE- - can't they take "NO!" for an answer?? [View all]

Every time I log into one of my financial accounts, they throw this "Go Paperless" Sh*t at me. I've said "NO" a thousand times, I MEANT "NO," and the answer is STILL "NO!" "Going Paperless" means I save THEIR paper--not mine! There is no such thing as "paperless" in my world. If I want or need a hard copy (which I almost always do, for one reason or another), I would have to print it on MY own paper. Then it becomes my expense, and their profit. No, thank you. They're the ones making the big dineros, not me--and they can write it all off as a business expense; I can't. I've said "NO" a thousand times, I MEANT "NO," and the answer is eternally"NO!" Sure, I could download the stuff and store it electronically (which might be more efficient, but less helpful if someone else needs ready access to my records), but again, it's my expense. I'll take the paper, thankyouverymuch.
