You're welcome to not send me your resume electronically, but then I don't help you find a job. It wasn’t the case in this instance, but the rule still stands.

I mean, how often do recruiters distribute resume's to clients or colleagues without permission? I dont distribute my own information to anyone that asks, and some correspondence I use is purposely not sent by email for this reason.

As far as IT types not being able to get resumes sent electronically I agree with you, however there is one caveate to be aware of I think. I deal with this personally myself since I run my own web/mail server. Basically, its a problem of spam filters. I have my personal email server setup with some very......shall we say soup-nazi-esqe restrictions on what email servers are allowed to even talk to my own server. Most of the things I restrict to my server are standards based and ensure that an email server is configured properly, however youd be surprised at how many email servers even from legit companies dont know how to do this correctly so I end up having to give out my secondary Gmail address and telling the company how their mail server is misconfigured. BTW, I'd be curious to see what you thought of my own resume. Its linked off my blog in one of the nav tabs. I'm not in the market right now since I'm working to complete my degree at UCI but I am curious if there is anything I can do to polish it further. Hey, keep up the good work on here!
