...recently as six months ago, online snooping was mostly done surreptitiously or under the polite guise of "social networking." Now all subtlety has been cast aside.

"Trekkies ... are among the most size-neutral folks out there," claims a post on BIG FAT BLOG. "Don't know why, but it's nice to see." SCORE...
...appeal of the species is that they're outsiders to the movie industry and are therefore able to retain a sense of awe about it. At the same time, they're outsiders in the real world, caring passionately about subjects most people shrug off--like who will play Spock in the 2008 Star Trek prequel.
