 | | If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop) —Allan Bedford
|
| | | (...) I guess I'm just not fond of labels. If someone else wants to call themself an AFOL I have no problem with that... it's just not for me. Besides, if you could see inside my head, view how my brain operates, you'd realize that even labeling (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

To me (and Frank, from what he says above) AFOL means no more than that you are an adult who enjoys LEGO as a hobby. I've never thought it might mean anything more until (...)
