One of the issues with night flight is being able to maneuver on the surface
of an airport without getting lost and making runway incursions. It can be
a daunting task at a large field. I have always supposed that the FAA
wanted pilots to have some recency of experience in such night maneuvering,
and I have thus interpreted the requirement for full-stop landings to
exclude stop-and-go. I have assumed that they want us to exit the runway
and taxi back for departure. Assuming, of course, that there is a parallel
taxiway. If not, then backtaxi, being very aware of things.

and on a 10,000ft runway.. you stop in the first 1000.. full stop.. and then
just go..
so much for the "ground operations"

With a 10,000' runway and a STOL aircraft, you can get your night
currency in one pass down the runway.

I'm used to a 2600' runway. Anything longer than 5000' can be done
with a stop and go
I had thought about the taxiing part, but it doesn't say that in the
regs. And if it is a small enough airport, there is only one taxi way
onto the runway, therefore it requires a back taxi on the runway.

But you don't go out alone unqualified and perform night ops to qualify for
night ops. Do you?

Why wouldn't you? You're not legal to carry anyone until you complete your
three T&Ls.... I suppose you could pay an instructor but why bother? The
airplane doesn't know it's dark.

Because night ops qualification requires 3 hours of night flight training
and flight training requires a flight instructor.
