 * Well done for putting the list up as per the BMI's own description. I will up date it up to 2005 soon. I notice that the BMI stopped putting all the degrees, qualifications and honours after the Presidents names after about 1987. Where is it best to put the list? Here (with a reference in the main article), or in the main article with all the links to the autobiographical articles, or as a separate list? DonBarton 14:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know whether it is worth putting the complete list anywhere. I put the first 100 here because it was easy, and for study :]. I would not, myself, put a complete list in the main article, which should only link to notable people. Fair enough if they have articles about them. Oosoom 15:02, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * But don't let me stop you creating a new List of presidents of the BMI article if you think it would be useful. Oosoom 15:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
