Leaving that aside for a moment, I can actually see one other advantage: 
easier entry for newbies, that just want to ask one question and move 
on.  That's not appropriate for this list, but it might well be for 
"boost-users" which let's be honest, currently gets almost no postings, 
when it should really be chock full of "how do I" newbie questions.  Of 
course those can be super annoying to deal with... but todays newbies 
are tomorrows developers.
