(Flame ON...)

I hate to spoil your fun, but the laughter level at this Star Trek parody
at Siggraph was nil and most people were turned off by its inclusion.
At least the Jello talk by Paul Heckbert showed some signs of totally
off-the-wall humor that people could relate to, while yours had too much
"I am a sickeningly, avid trekkie fan..." written all over it.
Paul likes Jell-O (who doesn't), and even though I like
Star Trek (and even worked on the effects for ST IV),
your lenghthy "parody" was still uncomfortably out of place.

Moral: Do your reputation a favor...Don't use it again,
       unless your at a trekkie convention.
