- A BDI is a Big-Domed Individual; that is, one whose throbbing
- cranium is so crammed with wisdom that it is inevitable that in
- any conversation with one a mere human being will be mercilessly
- crushed. This term dates back to a hallowed and ancient thread
- in this group, which ran for many months about a year ago;
- it may even be older.

- BTW, let me know when you've found the FAQ?
