Puzzle Rules: The solution to the puzzle is a Dodger. Comment freely in the thread, but if you have the solution, please don't give it away to everyone in the comments section. Instead, do the following:
Send us an Email with "PCS" somewhere in the subject line, containing the first and last name of the players, along with your reasoning. Submitted answers without the reasoning, or those submitted with the incorrect reasoning, will count for participation only, even if the answer itself is correct. And please include your screen name somewhere in the email; and
Post a comment simply saying you have emailed your solution attempt. We may not be able to reply to your original email promptly, so please be patient and check back on the comment thread for the latest news; we may confirm correct answers there.
You have until midnight PT tonight to submit your answer. The answer will be posted tomorrow morning. Good luck!
Hint #1: There are two hidden messages in
Hint #2: The first hidden message from Hint #1 is can be read directly from the puzzle text, but the second message you will need to decode, using the method described in the first.
Hint #3: With regard to step 2, A=0, W=1, et cetera.
Hint #4: Updated puzzle text.
Hint #5: Don't try to solve the whole puzzle at once. Tackling each sentence one-at-a-time will break the task up into bite[sic]-size pieces.

Hint 1 posted.
I think I'm being overly Clintonian, but what is the sedinition of "this" in the hint? Do you mean the puzzle paragraph or the hint paragraph?
That's supposed to say "definition" and not "sedinition."
Steve,
The original paragraph only. Nothing below the first line is needed to decode the puzzle. The first part gives you directions for solving the second.
Hint #2 is up.
I'm about to step in to a meeting, but I can post a hint before this kicks off.
What is everyone having the most trouble with, finding the first message or figuring out the second?
1st message has been found. 2nd message is stumping me.
Hint 3 is up, and I'm going dark for a bit. Back in a flash!
Hint 4 posted.
