Re^4: Better Days?

It seems there are less questions being asked

And do you put that down to this place has become too tolerant of badly phrased and/or easy questions?

Or because such questions are routinely greeted with a barrage of WHYT/RTFM/LMGTFY first responses?

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Different Anonymous here I would say its partly due to introduction of stackoverflow with its broader focus and better voting system -- its like a superstore , one stop shopping all the way :) even with its lower volume of perl questions, its still got merlyn / ikegami / Corion ... posting regularly . For some things, no matter where you go, its the same persons answering the question, esp perl, but stackoverflow has cpan authors as members that were never perlmonks	[reply]

Yes, I would say it's the bowing to etiquette before solving problems issue. There are a few here who have designated themselves the Hall Monitor and, I believe, chased a lot of people away. I think the OP's point about how members reacted to the troll last summer didn't help either.	[reply]
