Show me a single post where you agree to work me on new documentation. All 
your post are about this is how my old docs should have looked liked. 
Whether or not I agree with this criticism is irrelevant and I do not have 
time to spend on useless bikering. I want us to do something productive 
instead.

Yes. I was not going to be helpful to do something which does not have much 
value in my opinion. You docs probably written better, with better english 
and some external prospective allowing you to better single out important 
parts. Yet you bound to be limited by expirience you have personally and my 
goal is to serve all users of the library equally, both new and old. I know 
the design of the library, it's pablic interfaces and how I would like it to 
grow. And in this unique moment I also know which parts of the library I 
want to deprecate and thus stop advertise them through documentation.

If this is your final word, I will have no choice but to look for someone 
else to help me with this (or continue to procrastinate on best frasing as I 
did last half a year). What you want to do with this docs is up to you and 
rest of boost community.
