Gotta go with George on that one. I've seen Trekkies ridiculed often. They
don't realize I'm one, and are very embarrassed when I inform them of that
fact.
But, as someone else said, Trekkie and Trekker seem to be interchangeable
now. Non-fans tend to think we're *all* weird.
And, well...we are. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
