Re: 1st, 2nd, 3rd - 4th person POV??

Thank you, I do feel very welcomed.  I am still trying to figure out which
discussed languages are con, and which merely (to me) obscure.

Please, all, consider me more a brainstormer than the Pitbull of Scientific
Method.  I was just reading in Technology Review an allusion to Linus
Pauling's statement that the best way to have a good idea is to have lots of
ideas.  Count on me for the lots; y'all can decide about the good.

Meanwhile, I consider this list a smorgasbord of Cool Stuff.
