To be clear, the word "ridiculous" is targeted at the signal-to-noise ratio, which is indeed in the ear of the beholder, not the article or the experience(s) of the author herself. Also, the "hard" part is not because it is dense or thorough. I just think it's messy and all over the place, but it's her blog. She gets to do whatever she wants.
Thanks for your perspective though. I don't wish to dig into this and turn extremely pedantic - I have a knack for that - because the author seems like an incredibly nice and talented person. I hope she moved on and forgot about this whole issue.
