Rest assured, I harbor no ill will at all.  Quite the contrary, notwithstanding 
the text written, it was obvious you were a battle-seasoned professional
and knowledgeable software engineer, one worth listening to.  As a newbie 
to the Boost mailing list, I have gained invaluable information from you and 
others that will stand me in good stead.  The ones to feel sorry for are 
those involved in the Linux kernel -- Linus Torvalds most certainly does 
not apologize for his comments! <g>  I appreciate your candor, a welcome 
trait in the professional world.

I'm currently working on verifying the changes using the regression test 
suite, and cleaning up the changes based on the comments you posted the 
other day.

Thank you for your kind offer to eyeball my pull requests before or after 
submitting them.  I will certainly feel free to take you up on your offer.
