Does the BAY part stand for anything in particular or just or just generically
"bay".  For some reason i thought it stood for: Bay Area (something with "Y")
Lego Train Club.  If nothing starts with Y then would it be BALUG (which kinda

Well, one thing I like is the immediate tie-in with LUGs and LTCs.  I think
that the LTC is pretty much standardized, as is LUG, so having the same root
would make sense.

BALUG would be the Lego Users' Group, anyway.  Bay Area Fans Of Lego would
have worked, too.  BAFOL sounds like baffle, which some people are at our
obsession.

I think that the full name makes sense and the initials are kind of hard to
work into a word with the LTC letters.
