Let us try this again, since Farzin Mokhtarian obviously doesn't read (or
doesn't remember) the big "how big is an appropriate article" debate. I
post an article. You either read it or you don't. This is like real life where
you either listen to me or you don't. This, of course, is your perrogative
and i won't lose any sleep over you not deciding to listen to me. If you
do not like it, then that is your loss. I am not out to make things 
palatable for you personally, and I do not think that an article half as
long would have been any better for all that it reached 4 times as many
people. This is not a marketing decision -- since I am not selling this
I don't really give a damn how many people read -- except that if *nobody*
reads then I can be sure that I have a problem.

Next time use your 'n' key. I won't mind. Or are you merely complaining because
you have discovered yourself in the foolish position of wasting your time?
This is hardly my problem. If your terminal is broken and the break key
doesn't work then there are closer hardware repairmen than I.
