Requests for reprints of articles

I just received a request for a reprint of one of ny articles. I get these from time to time; strictly speaking I shouldn't send such reprints since they infringe the copyright of the journal, but I used to do it because the requests usually came from third-world countries where people presumably couldn't easily afford the payment.

But not once did any of these correspondents bother to thank me or even acknowledge receipt, which I take ill; it's a lot less trouble for them to reply than it is for me to find the article in question and attach it to my email. So now I no longer reply to such requests, especially when, as in today's case, the requester is a professor at a university hospital in Paris, who could no doubt easily afford the fee to the journal (which probably wouldn't come out of his own pocket anyway).
