New layout okay

I have just read letters criticizing the new layout of The Jakarta Post. In my opinion it is a matter of taste. Someone may dislike this new layout, but so far I like it. I think many other readers also like it.

I have read the Post since the year it was published. I find it has improved a lot especially concerning the quality of printing, photos, articles etc.

One thing that annoys me with this new layout is the half loose pages (7-8 and 17-18). The loose page always falls down when I hold the paper higher for reading. Why not split the paper to 12 pages and eight pages, so there will be no loose pages. Accordingly, select more suitable articles from the second part of the paper to be put in the first part. I think the readers will agree to this way of splitting. I wonder if there is anyone else who has the same problem as I do?
