        The Debate over "Trekkie" as opposed to "Trekker" rests on the
same metaphorical level as the color of Scotty's underwear.
        I am frequently bitterly amused by Trek fans who have to find
 some reason to feel superior to other Trek fans.
        As if we don't get enough of this from the odd Babylon 5 fan...
        Well Peter.  I am a geek.  You're just going to have to get over
 it.  I'm not going to stop and I'm not going away.
        BTW, Scotty's underwear is plaid.  Gene Roddenberry revealed
 this to me in a dream.
