Ladies and Gentlemen ... kindly look at your calendar.   What day is it, today?

That’s my best guess, anyway.   Otherwise ... (sniff, sniff) ... “yeah, I’ll have a toke of whatever they’re smokin,’ please ...”   (For medicinal purposes?   Why, yes!   But of course.)   ...   What’s that?   ID?   Oh, pleeuze.   Awwww, here you go.   Yeah, I was around in the 60’s ...

But, maybe on a slightly more serious note ... perhaps a more realistic point-of-view would be to observe that:   “if anyone actually wanted to be a Troll, PerlMonks is a terrible(!) site to choose in which to do so.”   There’s nobody here but people who are professional users of the Perl language (among many others).   It is not a “popular” site.   It is, strictly, a “purposeful” one, exactly like sites that are devoted to, say, beekeeping, the restoration of reed-organs, or agricultural steam engines.   Therefore, if someone is posting here, (koff, koff ...) it is probably most appropriate to assume that it is not meant as “trolling.”

PM can quite-justifiably pride itself in being (IMHO ...) “t-h-e go-to site on the Internet” for all matters regarding the Perl programming language,   It earned that reputation years ago and has maintained it ever since.   But ... (and I do not see the “spam postings” which, thankye(!), surely get scrubbed-off every day ...) there also seems to be very few “truly garbage postings” here.   [I will take a respectful pause until the laughter subsides ...]   Generally speaking, and from my humble point of view, PM is an exceptionally well-policed website with an exceptionally positive “signal-to-noise ratio.”   And, also to someone’s great credit, “come to think of it, it always has been.”
