The charters describe the purposes of Thing One as " includ[ing]
education, programming language research, small embedded systems, and
embedded scripting languages, where it is appropriate to use a lightweight
language at the semantic level and/or in the implementation"; whereas
Thing Two is supposed to "address the practical needs of mainstream
software development".

What makes you think that your opinion needs to be repeated on multiple
threads?  I try not to repeat myself unless I'm clarifying some confusion
about what I said; sometimes I fail, to be sure.
