I get the impression that many readers here, with lots to do and so on, read a leading paragraph or two; they may well call it a day and assume they've percieved the jist of an article.
If they did, in this instance, they would have missed out on an otherwise well-done piece o' work.
Your mission was to praise the worker-bees that make life smooth for, well, let's just call them award-winners, in this context. But the first two paragraphs may have led one to believe that your thrust was pure snark.
A couple of intro phrases may have prevented that from happening. And I'm assuming that you may be quoted from a partiality of the article, so perhaps you should keep that in mind?
All that said, I appreciated what you had to say.
