Lens Buying Addiction

This question has been asked so many time that I've decided to make it a sticky.

If anyone would like to add more information about how the term was coined, etc., feel free to do so!

Adam--thank you for your prompt answer--how can I get a p.m (private message to you) ?

The term was coined in 2004 by LanceB in the Pentax SLR forum on DPR and originally stood for "Lens Buying Anonymous".

As Lance B actually is a member here (PentaxForums.com - View Profile: Lance B), he may want to add more details
