I'm sorry Vinnie, but I don't think you understand the extent of the broken
trust between you and the board. It's too bad. I thought you had a good
thing going, but you messed it up.

You want to own boost.org[1], you want to own the boost website, you want
to own the boost logo, and you want to own the boost mailing list. The
answer is no, no, no, and no. If you decide to close shop and spend your
money elsewhere, Boost will go on just fine. I'm committed to make sure
that will always be the case, not just for you but for any single
individual. *Boost is not for sale*.

boost.io is an illegitimate imposter boost.org site and should be taken
down or, at the very least, clearly state that it is *not* the official
boost website. The board will meet to discuss this debacle in mid-March.

[1] Your so-called "transparency report" failed to mention your aborted
attempt to buy boost.org from the boost board as if the board would ever
sell it for any price.
