Since I cared enough to step out from the shadows and make a point and feeling a little squirrelly tonight, I shall now back up my assertion C++ style.  Here's a screenshot compilation of what happens when I do a fairly simple search in a ~1000x900 browser window, more than many 5:4 monitors can handle and the lion's share of my own 1050p display--yes that is FIVE PAGES of derp before actually hitting results, and then only 3 items per page.  Seriously, nobody is going to wade through ~50 items to find the one they want if this is what the experience is going to be like.
