I did try to express a description to help folks understand me, but I really didn't define a label to attach to it. What label do you see that I've called (...)

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 (...)
