Was anybody else a tad bit startled by doing a print preview of that page (I 
used Firefox) and finding that it does not "eat its own dogfood"?

Printing it on my system would produce a page with only the big, yellow title, 
then 3 pages with all the left and right columns as well as the middle one, then 
a blank 5th page.
