"but it doesn’t stop pages that are three or four scrolls deep"

writes the man that wrote a post 3 scrolls deep.

I am the man and yes, it's a long post. I'm not actually against putting a large amount of content on a web page. It's the overloading to pieces of content that themselves lead off to individual pages that has me frustrated.

If I may restate this: You're on the article page, therefore we can reasonably assume you want to read the article. Being on the opinions splash page however does not lead one to conclude that you want to read every opinion in the paper.

An alternative, for example, might be only showing the top ranked opinions, plus some minimalist options to find the others if you want them (a list of categories, a search bar, a "complete index" link...).

which he addresses in TFA.
