Yeah, I´m 14 and if I had a job, then you would see the biggest lego town
you´ve ever seen! I´d buy mindstorms and multiple copies of minifig packs,
buy sets, sort out the parts I wanted and then throw away the rest. But I
don´t have a job, so I can´t do that.

Geez I'm only 13! (actually still twelve but my birthday is coming up • soon)
I wonder how many JrFOL there are on LUGNET...

I was bodding around fibblesnork the other day, and came across the • survey,
part one, question 9 "How old are you now?"

Out of 1692 responses (!) 39% are in the 10-14 range!
10-19 = 55%
20-29 = 27%

You can see for yourself at:
http://www.lugnet.com/fibblesnork/lego/guide/survey/results/part1.html
http://www.lugnet.com/fibblesnork/lego/guide/survey/

The first link is just the answers page and the second has all the frames • and
stuff so that you can do everything else.

Now maybe fibblesnork is a cool name that attracts the hundreds of • thousands
of
under 20's that surf the web for Lego things, and maybe those same people
aren't that interested in a bunch of anal old people discussing the brick • in
microstuddic detail. But - there are potentially a lot more children and • teens
on here than has been assumed?

Something to remember before posting that flame :)
