I'm no Quixtar expert
By QBlog in
Many people assume that since I run this blog I must be some sort of expert on Quixtar lore. I'm not. I know the Quixtar basics, a few details and a lot of rumors but when anyone starts naming names and specific events or lawsuits my eyes usually just glaze over. Gooch. Hart. Stewart. Shwartz. Pronet. WWDB. All are names that I know but have trouble putting into proper context. I know a little about each, and much more about others but it's often difficult to gather all the various names and incidents and then weave them together into some sort of coherent, historical tapestry.
However, during the past couple of weeks things have begun to make a little more sense. I think my diligence is beginning to pay off. I am beginning to see connections that were invisible a few months ago. I am understanding how an incident in one group affected a specific reaction in another. That historical tapestry is beginning to snap into focus and I don't think I like what I am seeing.
My hope is that the Dateline story on Quixtar will connect some dots, put a few things into historical perspective and generally help define the Quixtar narrative. I believe that the key to understanding this business is to understand the narrative and how everything fits together. It's like a giant puzzle and you can't complete it if you can't see all the pieces. For a long time only a few have been able to see all the pieces. We all need to see those pieces.
