I am also frustrated by the New York Times. Every day, I get about 3
different emails, which list the articles for headlines, opinions,
technology and arts. I read a synopsis of the article and if I am
interested in reading the whole article, I click on the url just below the
synopsis.

The article is downloaded and I have to hit the down arrow about 65 times
before getting to the top of the article that I want. Does anybody know of
a quicker way for me to skip over the 65 links for everything you can
imagine, but nothing to do with what I clicked on the article for.

It used to be about 30 presses of the down arrow, so the change that I
notice is that it takes me about 30 seconds to find the top of the article.
And it has made a difference. I used to click on the article with an
interesting synopsis, wait the 20 seconds for that, then hit about 30 down
arrows. Now that the time has been increased, I don't read the articles
anymore. It is just too much time for often mediocre articles.
