Yeah, WHO the heck put that in there!?

PS, I'm surprised your article didn't get more traction. It's good.

But I dunno how Kinja / Jalopnik works. If it's anything like the old days on DIGG, it's more about who you know (network of up-voters and recommenders with status) than the quality of what you submit. Or a little of both.
