What about an original fan like me that prefers Trekker? What makes us
any different Mama? What kind of a fan are you, that I'm not? I have
memorabilia, go to conventions, watch all the reruns, and won a teeshirt in
a Trek trivia contest. I rode in an elevator with Uhura! My wife with Sulu!
How dare you call me a snob. LOL
