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.
