No doubt. As an author that's only natural. But this debate, about whether the library even needs to exist, is a necessary and vital part of the process, and keeps Boost the quality that it is. Don't take the scepticism personally. It's just the way peer review works. Alex -- Swish - Easy SFTP for Windows Explorer (http://www.swish-sftp.org)
