Some comments from a boost newbie/C++ old hand here.

Contrary to what some have said, Boost *does* need to be sold.

Well, that statement can mean a lot of things, but I believe you mean that
it is not, as currently presented, attractive to new-comers.

You know, the old trick with the leading >s that shows how many levels
of reply are in play?

Thanks,

     Sorry, I think I was overly clever with my client, and it didn't show me
   the fruits of my cleverness. I think I've figured out where it was though,
   so I shouldn't be doing that again. (Though this message should [dis]prove
   my theory...)
     BTW - some of us are in a situation where we can only do e-mail from our
   desks and not read web pages. I'd have to copy the URL by hand, walk to
   another room and then enter it into a web browser on a machine not connected
   to our internal web.
     Barbaric, but true. :/ *shrug*
