Wow!  You began by asking for Boost support of a DirectX support library.  You stated that your library idea needed Boost's clout to gain widespread use.  When told by numerous people that they perceived it to be outside Boost's scope, you pushed back -- hard.  Now you suggest that two principal Boosters are silly and, together with them, imply those that like Spirit to be likewise silly.

I for one intend to read or respond to no more of your posts.  Your words clearly indicate that don't want to be part of this community, so you are wasting my time.
