Thanks for the feedback Alexander.

The patch length has some psychology to it: If people see a very long
article, they won't start reading it. 

But if they see a small page, it seems managable and they read to the
end and click "next page". Repeat. :) I think this is one reason why a
number of news sites split stories over several pages. Besides that they
want to show you more ads. :)
