Strangely enough I once thought the same thing.
Then was told by many Trek people that the "trekker," was the
total whacko's 
who actually decorated their homes to look like the bridge of the 
enterprise.

So from then I told people I was a trekkie.
Now after the abrams movies,....I publicly deny any knowlege of anything 
Trek.
...But privately still treasure my TOS original issue DVD's, and the VHS 
set.
