But: Who created this term? When? And where?

IIRC:  Todd, Here, a long time ago. YMMV.

Heh, not according to Todd :)

Adrian got it right-- Jeff Thompson appears to be the first one who used the
term "Adult Fan Of Lego" on RTL (June 13, 1995), and Matthew Verdier first
brought light to the acronym in reference to Jeff's post (June 14, 1995), which
quickly caught on.

Was Jeff "Nephilim?"  There were giants in the earth in those days.


Wow. June 1995.  I'm a newbie--I only started posting to RTL in January of 1998.




Looks like my first post was in Sep 15 1996, cool.
