# a trekker is a fan of the shows, but knows its just entertaining [sic] tv
a trekkie is an úber-geek who goes to conventions in a captains uniform (some go as kilngons, which require a bucket of shit to be emptied on their heads) and ask really gay questions to the actors

# really?
as I understood it, a trekkie was a fan who did the silly stuff but knew it was silly

a trekker is a fan who takes it all far too seriously, denying it's entertainment and treating it more like a documentary? (witness the movie "trekkers")
