I'm a bit older than you... loved sci-fi before Trek, loved the original
series, and call myself a Trekker. If you'd just come out and admit you were
wrong to call Trekkers snobs, this would be over Mama. Don't you see that
you're the snob thinging that you're somehow better than the rest of us fans
that like a different nickname?
