If I might offer the author some constructive criticism - this article contains a huge amount of filler, fluff and nonsense, which it descends into at random times in an ADHD-like way. Like the way you use the word "gander" and then suddenly feel compelled to type four paragraphs about geese and pygmy marmosets. This makes it very annoying to read because the reader's flow is constantly interrupted. The liberal use of "um" and the rambling first person narrative style (complete with bizarre roleplay-style actions like "[wriggles interestingly]") combine to present the impression that 1) you do not value the reader's time and 2) you haven't sufficiently distilled what you are actually trying to say.

I suspect this article would read very much better if you deleted it and rewrote it from scratch, omitting the cutesy crap and narrative details about your mood while you were thinking about this problem, and saying only what you need to say.
