Better things to do, huh?  Of course.  That's why Trivial Pursuit was
such a big hit, because people didn't care about trivia.  And this
is the GENERAL case!  Trekkies (and trekkists and trekkers) all care
much more about this sort of thing than Mundanes do.  At least, *MOST*
of them do... you seem to be a (rare) exception.

Go bust somewhere else.  Maybe you can bust Flamers... they've GOT to
have something better to do with their time.
