I really wonder why you felt the need to cut this up in parts. I think i would have enjoyed reading your post untill part 8 in one go. I'm noticing a trend that long pieces have to be served in bitesize chunks lately either through pagination or several independant blog post. Presuming that all these part will try to get the same point across one big post versus many small ones would do that point more justice. Anyhow i hope part 2 will get on my radar when its posted.

It's often for more page views and advertisement impressions.

Edit: Maybe not in this case, but the news websites that do surely do it for the extra impressions.

Definitely not in this case. I decided to break it up into individual parts, so that I would have more time to think about the content between parts... and perhaps even change my view by the end of it. I am currently in the middle of season 3... and Walter has been displaying too much altruism for my taste of late.
i know exactly what you mean, annoying news sites, which break an article of 10 photos into 10 pages..
I had decided to break this up into parts, because it will allow me to think about what I will write more carefully. At the same time, I had wanted to publish what I prepared in my mind, while it was still fresh.

Thank you for your feedback. I will be following this up with part 2 tomorrow.

No, this is not for ad impressions. I have zero ads on my blog. There's a reason I quit the world of advertising after a year at an advertising agency.

The feeling i get with parts is that it'll be ramblings of an unsaturated chain of thoughts. If its one big piece i asume careful thought went into the structuring and each section has been revisited once if not twice.

This not directed at you personally in any way and of course my personal bias. No evil intent was assumed :)

most probably he didn't get to write the whole thing in one go
