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.
