Actually, I've kind of had the opinion that the AFOL community might take
itself a little to seriously sometimes. That is, "surely the only serious
lego modelers are adults". Based on these statistics and comments, I think
that the JrFOL are doing some really cool stuff. Actually, I'd be willing to
bet almost any amount that their biggest handicap is just that they don't have
adult jobs (high paying) to feed their habit like some of us AFOLs do.
