net.startrek:	Q:  What rank is a Commodore, anyway?
		A:  WHO CARES!  IT'S JUST A TV SHOW/MOVIE!

net.comics:	Q:  How can we explain this inconsistency in Superman?
		A:  WHO CARES!  IT'S ONLY A COMIC BOOK!

net.movies:	Q:  What about this inconsistency in Back To the Future?
		A:  IT'S A MOVIE, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT!

Such answers are useless.  If *you* don't care, don't answer.  Some of us have
fun imagining that tv shows/movies/comics are real and creating consistent
explainations for them.  Like Sherlock Holmes fans have been doing for decades.

In summary: WE KNOW THEY AREN'T REAL, DON'T BOTHER TELLING US THAT!!
