That's about the way I feel. The other thing that would help would be
some browse function that would allow us to see a list of articles in a
particular part of the alphabet. We do have a special page to see
articles by title but that's useless when you need to start from the top
of the list and scroll through over 100,000 titles. Even the article
[[A]] is currently number 5430 on that list.
