Summary: Why not put the page numbers on ALL pages?

Dear Mary:

This posting is not about a specific technique, but about something that I've
been meaning to bring to the attention of the editors of your journal for some
time. Many of the printed articles are interrupted by advertisements and since
not all the pages of BioTechniques have the page numbers on them, photocopied
articles are difficult to reference without looking them up in the original
volume. This can be very frustrating when a number of articles are to be
referenced at one time, forcing one to go to the library and look all of them
up again to be sure of the correct page numbers. It would be a vast improvement
if the numbers were printed on ALL pages, or the page numbers for the reference
printed on the first page of the article itself as many other journals do.
