Not to disagree with you again, Todd, but... (oh heck, who am I trying to fool? :)
I would think that AFOL would refer to people over the age of 16, not 14. Since
even TLG's most sophisticated products that I know of do not list any age above
16. Further, TLG has contests somewhat regularly, but they usually explicitly
exclude people over the age of 16. So it seems to me that TLG has somehow
determined that people over the age of 16 are "too adult" to be playing with LEGO.
Besides, we have a 15-year old who still loves to play with LEGO, and I am nowhere
near ready to think of him as an adult yet. :)

| (...) Hee hee. That's why I wrote "in my mind" -- I know that it really means adults, but in my mind (probably incorrectly) it means 14+. Or 15+ or maybe 16+. Depends, I guess. (...) Well, then you need TFOL (Teenaged Fan of LEGO). :) --Todd (25 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Yeah, but as soon as you're 12 or 13, you have to start paying adult rates for everything. Maybe you could define "adult" as when you start to buy LEGO for yourself instead of waiting for someone to give it to you? Whatever your definition is, (...)
