I do like Star Trek, but I don't think I'm a trekkie. I said I liked Star Trek once and some guy (who was apparently a trekkie) started to ask me questions about what I thought about "Tasha Yar." (that was the gist of it) I don't know enough about Tasha Yar to answer that question, to this day. Except that she was hotter than Worf.
Just to answer questions about the fact that I brought up a short lived character in Star Trek, I have a fantastic long term memory. I honestly can't help it.
Furthermore, in certain circle (cough ivy league cough) most people are closet Star Trek fans.
I am a Trekker & proud of it. But in my case it just consists of watching it on TV and eating a sandwich & drinking a beer or three. No dressing up or anything..much too embarrassing.....Does that make me a Geek...?

Not guilty of any of the others. I notice that wasting time on AppleInsider is not mentioned, however. How accurate could it be?

There was a whole show on it on MTV last year. I've had nightmares. Seriously.

IIRC, Furries started as a Virtual MUD Phenomenon (a la EverCrack)
there are mentions in WIRED, a few books, and a fair bit of Japanese press

At one point I could remember it to the 11th place, it's something I am proud of.
