	Several years ago, I (for some forgotten reason) wrote
	to Ben Bova, who was at that time the editor of Analog
	magazine.  As a postscript, I asked him "If Star Trek
	fans are called 'trekkies', what should be call Star
	Wars fans?"

	I was surprised to receive a personal reply to my
	letter, and in a postscript, Ben added:

	"Star Trek fans are 'trekkies', Star Wars fans are dolts."

	(no flames to me, please!)
