A few years back I went to convention here in Ohio (Rockside Drive, NE
Ohio) to the Star Trek convention. I was informed the first time that I
used the term trekkie that it was incorrect, and proper star trek fans
call themselves "trekkers". This isn't saying this is the opinion of
all trekkers, but I was told this by quite a few members of the local
starship, and I find it believable. The term trekkie is meant to be quite
deragatory, an insult. Quote one of them: "The wannabes". *Shrugging. It's
a mindset that I understand, but can never emulate. Except, grinning,
for Harry Potter!

Keep up the naming, I am enjoying it! The one sounds best,
though...Potterperson! LOL!
