A less than exhaustive search * of PICList posts indicates that in all 
threads where the term "bozo" appears (including this one), Olin first 
used the term. All other uses are by people quoting Olin either 
directly or indirectly. This indicates that for PIClist purposes a 
'bozo' is a person who Olin does not approve of or, perhaps, a person 
on whom Olin bestows the appellation. If this is in fact the case, as 
it appears to be, then a clueless someone asking a stupid in a wise 
manner (always allowing that such be possible) would be a bozo if Olin 
deemed him/her one and not if he didn't. History suggests that odds 
are that Olin, should he deign to be involved in such an exchange, 
would almost always so label such a questioner. As he often labels 
wise & informed, and clueful but uninformed questioners bozos the odds 
are that almost everyone here is a bozo until they gain a security 
clearance from Olin.

An exhaustive search MAY show otherwise.
Would be interesting.
