You've chosen an interesting time to make that comment.  Before Prothon I've
had zero experience moderating anything, much less the barrage of opinions
that come into the language design process.

When I first started I thought everyone's opnion mattered and that I had the
job of merging eveyone's ideas into a grand scheme that made everyone happy
<hearty laugh>.  Now I am discovering that everyone has there own agenda and
that to a certain degree the more we discuss, the more people polarize
around their own agenda instead of converging on a shared solution.  We have
idea's that range from pure Self, to pure Python, to pure Lisp, to pure
original Prothon.

I think I have recently found a smattering of people who really do go with
the flow and we are starting to make some real progress (knock on wood).
The good news is that ultimately I have the BDFL powers and can use them
when needed.  Just having the power is what is important.  It is not the
using of them that is important.
