Glad to be of Necro-service! -)
Sorry about the Dr. reference...I didn't know.
I once had a discussion with some fans of Star Trek. I referred to myself as a Trekkie and was loudly denounced for using that term. I should have used the word Trekker according to the denouncers. It turns out that shortly after Trekkie was introduced into the world media in late 1969, it was associated with the word Hippie. So the science fiction fans started using other names for themselves and avoided Trekkie. Then the resurrection of the Star Trek TV programs started and the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" started using the term Trekker.
These days, I just call myself a Geek. It covers so many more genres and interests!
