I'm updating the FAQ; thanks to those who have supplied fixes.

Here are a couple of new entries:

Why isn't there a separate boost mailing list for my favorite library?

One of the reasons for boost's success has been the cross-pollination of 
ideas between diverse library projects and the occasional look into other 
threads by otherwise uninterested parties. The more people participate, the 
less they tend to be annoyed by "noise".

How can I cope with the large volume of boost mailing list messages?

Try using your email program's capabilities to filter messages and 
automatically transfer them into several boost folders.  Boost list posters 
are encouraged to include keywords in the subject like "thread", "review", 
and "CVS" to aid message filtering.
