(...) As Joe said, I don't think the issue would be with the instructions themselves-- plus, the gallery is what generates the heaping swaths of traffic from what I understand. Not that the instructions don't generate their own heaping swath, it's (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)

ALE is Adult Lego Enthusiast, a newer (and preferred by at least some) term over AFOL. It's easier to pronounce as an acronym, sounds less stilted when you say it in words, and is generally more accurate too. See (URL) for the thread where it was (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)
