There have been few libraries I have used recently where I didn't have to call this list for help. While I have always received a degree of help which has been useful to me, I routinely see other threads where a programmer with a question doesn't seem to connect with the respondents (the latest threads about bjam & python being good examples).

Hm, those are my responsibility, to some degree. Which threads please?

try the following:

Re: [Boost-users] boost python (compiling an extension)

Ahem: http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2006/02/16887.php. I don't know what thread about bjam you're referring to.

Am I missing something? You wanted a thread didn't you?

I'm sorry, wasn't this supposed to be an example of a thread where a programmer with a question didn't connect with the respondents? Maybe I don't understand what that means?

As it happens, it is an example of a programmer having trouble with the build process, bjam, and his inability to find sufficient documentation to get the job done. Contrary to what is usually said about boost's build process, this query is about the ability to build python extensions using the mandatory bjam process. If you read the thread, you will experience one of the examples you were requesting.
