Now John, I think you could say something more meaningful than that.

MJD has done a lot to get good articles on perl.com, but, indeed, some
parts do seem to have lost their freshness where the shiny new oreillynet
sites appear to be very hip and fresh.

Keeping a large site like perl.com new and fresh is a tedious,
timeconsuming task that doesn't get praise when it's maintained and is
berated when it isn't. The list of volunteers is very short too.

Bitching is easy, actually getting off your butt to produce something and
maintain it is hard. I keep waiting for more of the latter instead of the
former.
