Dave:

It is quite obvious, anyone who does not agree with you is a
troll--well, in you interpretation of the word...

I stand behind those words you have fault with. I think they are right
on and the truth. I know some think that simply denying them for a
sufficient length of time will cause them to go away...

.... all we have to do now is watch declining numbers, take tally on the
oldsters about and lack of youngsters and the truth is quite obvious.

Really, no argument is needed. What the future looks like has already
been stated. Now the proof which is hidden in the pudding only needs to
be given a sufficient length of time to come out.

As long as we are watching and able to argue for changes to improve and
save the hobby, I have faith in the younger people coming along--they
will eventually make the right decisions when they come into power...

I just took it for granted that everyone experienced life a lot like
me.

That's a big leap.

Remember when your were 21?

Yes

And how back then 50 year old people looked like they had one foot in
the grave?

No

How 60 year old people looked as if they were preserved in
formaldehyde? And, were just about as interesting to chat with as
window drapes?

No

Now that you are old--suddenly you got blind?

I'm not quite "that" old and wasn't blind then or now.

I am 55 and people even 65 are about as interesting as rocks--there
is that kind of difference which occurred in the 60's and has been
occurring ever since...

So you've continued the same flawed views of others that you had as a
twenty-one-year-old.

Get real--the only reason some old geezer type will have a younger
woman on his arm is for the money....

You don't seem to have offered any proof of your statement.

You can extrapolate on that to figure out how it applies here at
amateur radio...

It doesn't look like a fit, given the gaping holes in your logic. You
continue to play the troll.
