As you may have noticed by now, we've introduced a little something called 'page 2' (look to your right). We added this feature because we felt we needed a way to 'tier' the news we publish on OSNews, because a regular (and valid) complaint has been that people felt that interesting, one-of-a-kind items were being drowned out by run-of-the-mill items like software releases, short distribution reviews, and so on. Read on for a little more insight into this one.

Good points (like we can see from your comment score too). Done that way, Page 2 could be a very good idea.
On the other hand, in real life it might often be rather difficult to consider what is minor news only or only a gossip etc. - and thus maybe resulting in yet new row of complaints from some active readers... But everything has its pros and cons.
Personally I see Page 2 as a good way to improve the quality of this site.
