It's only from bitter experience. My knowledge of BPL has faded 
enough I can no longer reliably help people with it :(. However BPL 
was how I first entered the world of Boost back 2001. If you dig 
through the c++-sig mail archives, you'll find many very angry posts 
by me directed against poor Dave who took it all with exceedingly 
good humour. I've always held him in the highest of esteems since.
