 I'm relativly new to this (or any) net and I'm not sure if this has
 been brought up before, but, it should be interesting anyway.

 Has anyone else noticed the shirt insignias used by starfleet?
 In STTTVE (Star Trek the TV Epic) we see that starfleet has a
 different shirt insignia or each assignment:

		On the big E it was the stylized A within a circle

		 On base Comodore Mendez (see The Menagerie (sp))
		  was wearing a pattern of triangels.

		Dekker (in the Flying Carrot that almost ate the
		  Enterprise) is wearing yet another symbol.

 In other shows you can see that each ship in the fleet, each
 starbase, etc has their own symbol.

 Now in STTMP (Star Trek the Motionless Picure) we see people in
 SFleet on Earth ALL wearing the insignia from STTTVE's Enterprise.
 In fact on the USS Whatsit that Chekov is assigned to at the
 begining of TWOK (The Wrap of Khan) they are wearing the
 Enterprise's symbol too. And at least one more time, the personel
 on the Dudnaught in TSFS (Spock Strikes Back) they also bear the
 all too familiar symbol.

 Is this an error in the universe or the big E do something so
 awesome that SFleet has honored it by changing all of the insignia
 to that of the Enterprise???

 I don't know, I leave it to you, the viewer to decide.

(Like My view here has nothin to do with Boeing, I don't think they
even watch ST.)
