OSPF DR & BDR question??

Hi ,

I have a doubt about ospf behaviour in Broadcast multiaccess network. Why do we require DR & BDR in ospf broadcase multiaccess network???

I read a CCIE book says that DR/BDR are used to avoid flooding of LSA. Is that true? OSPF is using muticast for sending/receving LSA. Is there any other valid reason behind the DR/BDR concept?

Thanks

Bava
