You know you've been poly a long time when...

[firecat]

...you watch Ladyhawke and you keep thinking, "Well, that's interesting. Usually communicating with your lover through a third party is a bad idea, but in this case, it seems downright necessary."

What other thoughts tell you you've been poly for a long time?

... your poly relationship not only predates the newgrouping of alt.polyamory but the Great Renaming as well....

Fancy that. Did it even predate Morning Glory Zell?

hahahaha! I heard about her and some other woman having a bit of a disagreement about who created the term "polyamory".

As if it didn't exist previous to the term?

The disagreement, as far as I can tell, is not between the women themselves but between their "followers" (The people of Church of All Worlds and the people who read alt.polyamory).

Pray tell... what was/is the Great Renaming?
