I can understand (albeit with great difficulty) why someone might flame
about the NUMBER of wombat articles, but not about their LENGTH.  What
difference does it make that the article was 388 lines?  It takes the
same amount of time to press the "n" key whether it's 3 lines or 3000.

You DID press the "n" key, didn't you?
