(...) I don't get 'basic building instructions,' but I do get Building Instructions vs. Building Instruction Images.

(...) BBI came out in my mind becuase I wanted a narrow term for "polished BII in a layout". BBI and BII are both subsets of BIs. I chose BBI to get the acroynms all with the letters "B" and "I". BBI could also be called "Background Building (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.inst, lugnet.cad, FTX)
