pathology_docYour name is Legion, for you are many.
I can get that for very long articles, it's easier to split a centre-column-formatted article across two or more pages so you're not scrolling down forever. But for fuck's sake, what's the point in putting almost EVERY FUCKING PARAGRAPH on a new page, so I have to click, click, click every three or four seconds and wait for the next page to load before I can go on reading?
For fuck's sake, if you're going to do that for whatever reason (probably for people browsing on phones or tablets, who might find it easier to click than to scroll) the least you can do is offer a "View as one page" option for us fucking Neanderthals who are still carrying around laptops or sitting at desks.
I know you want to keep the links to your related articles and sponsors nicely on-view either side of the article, but if you go on giving me this sort of headache, I won't be coming back to your site and all those article and sponsor links won't be worth a glob of rancid walrus cum.
