Ever heard of Ross Neil?  :^p  Even besides him, many of us TFOLs, I should
daresay, are as good as the adult builders in some cases.  And for me at least,
I make no qualms (or however you say it) about being a Lego fan.  Not that
anyone ever looks at it, but I wear my MichLTC hat every day at school.  But I
don't interact much with other kids anyway, so I can't speak much to it beyond
that.

We oughta try some sorta theme or something to assert ourselves as TFOLs within
the community.  I have no idea what that something would be, but it's an idea.

These are just a few thoughts that I have had: You can easily divide LEGO fans into groups. first of all, the little kids from about 0-9 that just play with LEGO. this group is becoming the only group LEGO (r) cares about, if you look at the impact (...)
