Believe me: when I write exclamation marks sans smiley then I don't make
fun of you!

Then you and me would have a subtle difference: I cannot say that we are
doing it, because that would come close to a contradiction. Or, perhaps we
mean "we do" in one case and different "we do" in the other case.
Unencrypted I mean: yes, the community lets it rot (it *does* it). And no,
you attempt to do something against that (you *do* it). Strange words;
programming is easier ;-)

Right you are. But whenever I find rot and: [need to use it anyway] then I
*must* do something.

Since I firmly believe that almost nobody reads our conversation, let me
take the opportunity and state the following: Squeak community does not
lack developer skills. Squeak community lacks managerial skills, badly.
And, Squeak community does not need organizational skills.
