The article began well, I hadn't previously heard the gas wave/pressure analogy. It helped me see current/voltage in a presumably useful way.

However, after introducing this analogy, the remainder of the article seemed to abandon it and instead load on more and more new terms without referencing them back to the analogy. This lost me, and toward the end I gave up.

Ditto.

I wish folks who expend the effort to create things like this would spend just a bit more identifying the target audience and ensuring they're speaking to it. I've lost count of the things I've begun reading which lose the thread in this manner.
