I honestly fail to see your point

Oh well. I tried.

    No, don’t respond in that way.   Please, make your case.

    You have quoted some interesting statistics, but that I personally do not find “alarming,” let alone “a portent of The End.”   (But I have been wrong, on at least two occasions ... well, maybe three.)   While I, and perhaps others, am not yet persuaded-of ... neither perhaps fully informed-of ... your premise and conclusions and subsequent recommendations, the subject is most-certainly not one to be closed.

    You’re not exactly the stranger here, even though someone (snicker ...) lately didn’t seem to know who you are.   What do you recommend that PerlMonks should do now, and why?   Whether-or-not these stats are tea-leaves pointing towards the end of the world as we know it, this site probably is more-than due for some facelifts and re-purposing, and your thoughts are to be valued.

      No, don’t respond in that way. Please, make your case.

      The case is made. The numbers make it. If you cannot see that, nothing I add will make the blindest bit of difference.
