    Anyone care to help me understand this article on Halfwheel? I found it incomprehensible, maybe I'm having an extended senior moment, but it's all clear as mud. The comments seem to make out that Charlie is such an excellent journalist for writing this up.

    Well, it started out ok, but a page or so in and I was lost too. I think too many different articles were superimposed on one another.

    Boy, if you two can't even get it, I'm definitely staying away. Thanks for the heads up.

    I tried guys… I really did. I actually started reading it almost right after it was posted. I read the comments as well and this guy‘s up for some sort of Pulitzer Prize for journalism. I thought it was nonsensical, meandering word soup.

    I guess that the commenters are all sycophants and suck-ups.
