Defeating WordPress.com’s new Infinite Scroll/Load More Posts scam

It disrupts my theme entirely, and I'm sure this is not the only theme it hates.

Disabling the infinite scroll feature results in a "Load More Posts" tab, and you can't disable that "Load More Posts" tab from appearing and have "previous post" and "next post" links, without the Custom Design upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

I've unchecked the infinite scroll option, here:

I definitely didn't want it there. And I don't think I want it on any of my sites.

I haven't been on the blog for awhile so I was surprised to find 7 post currently displayed on the front page, which destroys the design since I made the sidebar just long enough for 4 posts give or take a few inches. Ordinarily, if I change the order or add a new post I make adjustments if necessary in the sidebar. I've never seen this happen before.

Why three extra posts being displayed? There are no sticky posts.
