A Web search quickly reveals I did not coin the term polyamorist. A handful 
of the many examples that precede my usage include:

The "Polyamorist Political Action Committee" at 
http://www.liberated.net/polyamoristpac/ .

The Polyamory Society uses the term polyamorist at 
http://www.polyamorysociety.org/ .

There's an author who wants to interview people for a book on "polyamorist" 
women at http://www.freewebs.com/polylapachet/ .

There's a Yahoo group for polyamorists in the Chico, CA area that calls 
themselves "Chico Polyamorist's Fellowship" at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ChicoPoly/?tab=s .

Individual polyamorous persons use the term "polyamorist" to describe 
themselves. Besides some on this list see http://joyfulgrl.diaryland.com/ .

Even opponents of polyamory also use the term. Some Christian--and I use the 
term Christian loosely--opponents of polyamory talk about the emergence of a 
"polyamorist" movement dedicated to "polyamorist rights" at 
http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/1/92006e.asp .

It's not my term. I picked it up elsewhere.
