Rant of the Day: Pagination

Even more ridiculous than golf clubs banning women is the fact that washingtonpost.com has the audacity to sell advertising on multiple article pages. The nerve!

something1: NOTE TO THE WASHINGTON POST: Please display all your articles on ONE page; we shouldn't have to click two, three, or more times to view a single article. We all know you want to cram as many annoying pop-ups and Flash ads as possible, but we have ad-blockers anyway. And yes, I'm aware of clicking "print this," but it should not be necessary to do so. ONE page by default, period. (end rant)

Is there a website that still displays longish articles on one page anymore?

I wouldn't say that the Post should fit everyting on one page, that isn't very realistic. The actual stories are well spaced out...But have you ever read the Dr. Gridlock column or the On The Air link for the day? Those two in particular are weak.

This one, for example... There can't be more than 75 words on that first page.

If I see there are multiple pages I normally just click for the printable version so I don't have to click and wait to find my spot after the next page loads.
