Thanks for the edit. Now you're an author of the handbook too.

I felt your note inappropriately phrased, as not all the content is 
mine and certainly what it links to is definitely not by me. For 
example, the section on input fuzz testing came from Chandler, even 
if I elaborated up the words in that section (which is why it is so 
short - as a general rule, if it links to my code it's my opinion, if 
it doesn't link to my code it isn't). Another section not mine is the 
one on online compilers wandbox etc, that idea and much of the 
content came from Krzysztof and Louis.

I replaced your edit with this instead:

"The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of its 
authors and those who contributed feedback, code, links and ideas. 
This article does not reflect the official policy nor position of 
Boost, nor necessarily any one Boost library author, library 
maintainer, or community member."

Is everyone happy with this phrasing?

Niall
