To be 100% clear I find your behavior inappropriate and unprofessional.

I acknowledged Fernando in my GTL paper because helped edit the paper and for the advice he gave on this list about design and implementation.  I know of no business ties between Fernando and Intel.  My relationship with Fernando is limited to the public email disucssions on this list and private email discussions about publishing my work and review of my library.  My understanding is that Fernando has experience in both CAD and GIS.  Your accusations do a disservice to both yourself and the people who put in volunteer effort to make boost great.  

It is very rare for this list to see the kind of thoughtless behavior that is so common on the internet, and which you are now exhibiting.  Fernando's reputation is his livelyhood.  I don't know what your reputation is worth to you, but if you won't think of others, think of how your behavior reflects upon yourself.
