Hi Thomas, Your email is objective and I have no interest on a heated debate now that there is an intent to collaborate. I just felt Michael's email added to my previous argument and I replied to that. My reasoning for any library is try to look at this goal stated in the Boost home page: "Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications" We probably disagree on "widely useful". To me, in the specific geometry case it translates as "valid for multiple application domains". Also, in this case, I think there is more value in collaboration from authors in complementary areas than confrontation. We should agree to disagree! regards jose On Sun, Nov 22, 2009 at 3:43 AM, Thomas Klimpel <Thomas.Klimpel@synopsys.com> wrote:
Hello Jose,
I tried to answer both to your current mail, and to the issues raised previously. I tried to answer your current mail straight and direct in the first part of the mail (so don't interpret the tone as unfriendly, its just meant to be clear and succinct), and then try to go into more detail of the issues raised previously.
