I too am young (16 - started LUGNET at 15 ) but I feel that this great place
treats all us youngin's just great. This begs the question, when do you
become an AFOL?
I consider myself an AFOL because I have passed my dark ages, I am
supporting my hobby with my own money and I don't consider Legos as a toy, I
consider it as a hobby. Even though our new friend William here is only 11,
if he has the maturity to interact here, then I would also consider him an
AFOL. Is this consideration a right way to think?
I consider a KFOL (kid...) an enthusiast that really only plays with the
stuff once, chews the pieces to heck, looses the pieces then gathers what is
left, places it in a box and gets it out only once a month, when the
computer is broken. Thier Mommies and Daddies are the supporting factors in
the collection, because they have the money.
BTW: I am not dissing the KFOLs, because all of us once were one of them.
Finally, since I am a teen, does that make me a TFOL or is there no such
thing as an in-the-middle type label?
I open this topic for discussion, so please discuss.

P.S. Welcome William and don't ever enter "The Dark Ages", they suck and you
loose many good years...
