Agreed, but who is "Tobor"?

Anyway, ST was just one of those things that inspired a small but
fiercely loyal group of fans.  Also, trekkies are strongly
overrepresented among the ranks of computer people ('specially netters).

You could probably get a government grant to study the relationship
between the newsgroups that people read and where they stand on the
"LIS <-> ST" question.  My bet is AFUers will tend to be LISers,
but comp.lang.c'ers (inter alia) will tend to be STers.

(I should add that comp.lang.c contains some of the most anal-retentive,
and parental people I have ever observed.  Such are trekies...)
