The set "Trekfan" contains at this count three subsets. 1)"Trekkies" are generally younger fans. 2)"Trekkers" are what Trekkies become with a number of years and/or a college degree added. 3)The most esoteric subset of the set "Trekfan" is the "Trekkist". These are the people who write their master's thesis in aerospace engineering on the design of REAL starships, and enjoy Star Trek as prophetic literature!
