bet this article's scrollbar doesn't reach the bottom

Gentlemen, observe your scrollbar on the side of this *Article* buffer.
Does it _not_ reach all the way to the bottom, even though this message is
so short?

The decision whether or not to hit SPC to see the next page is based on
the length of the scrollbar, at least for me.

Why these days even
$ emacs -q /etc/motd
says to me there's a second page.

Why can't emacs act like
$ firefox /etc/motd
and give no scrollbars, or, a "full length" scrollbar?

(apropos (quote ("scroll-bar")) nil) is daunting, over my head.

The scrollbar reaches all the way on my screen.

You already realized that you can reproduce your problem without Gnus.
So please bring it up on the relevant Emacs list, not on the Gnus
list.  Thanks.
