     I just have one small question.  Why is that all people seem to do
on this (and other newsgroups) is to point out faults and criticize things
(ie. programs, people, movies, the weather, ad nauseaum).  I realize that
this is something people like to do, but must it be done to this extent?
I for one am tired of hearing how 'unrealistic' Star Trek is.  As all of
you continue to point out, it is ONLY a television show.  You can't expect
to much from a 1960's show on a limited budget.  So, please stop pointing
out how the t-shirts showed up under the actors shirts, or how the orbit
around the planet look wrong, or how some number is obviously incorrect.
Try to think about the ideals the show represented and continues to
represent.  Let's try to keep the complaining down just a bit.  It would
be to much to expect no complaining.  After all, what am I doing with this
article?
