Every superhero needs an origin story.
Occasionally people ask me about the origins of my nickname BDFL (Benevolent Dictator For Life). At some point, Wikipedia claimed it was from a Monty Python skit, which is patently false, although it has sometimes been called a Pythonesque title. I recently trawled through an old mailbox of mine, and found a message from 1995 that pinpoints the origin exactly. I'm including the entire message here, to end any doubts that the term originated in the Python community.
I now find myself contemplating the existence of a Bizarro GvR.
Heh. I have none of those qualities, and a healthy dose of dyslexia/ADHD. That may be why I'm in management.
