So is anyone who is not . . . Oh, settle down, Sheila. Anyway, I especially like these two brief responses to the "Prolonged" post you cite: <em>Beerzie</em>: "Scrolling is one thing, but this business of having to turn the pages of a book MUST STOP." <em>Baxter</em>: "One of these days I'm going to be ballsy enough to put ALL the content below the fold. If people can't be bothered to scroll, they're probably useless to me anyway." I’m with you, Andrew. So is anyone who is not . . .

I don't think you'll find a serious user analyst who thinks dividing content into pages on the web is a good idea. if something is really long, hot links within the page can help facilitate access, but to divide a relatively short article into separate pages, with accompanying ads per page (that inevitably require a lot of download time) is obnoxious. your intuition is correct in my estimation, Andrew. to divide content into pages on the web is a waste of time and usually done simply for more ad space.
