Well, after the first twenty years of watching these things over and over again and reading all the cast-and-crew memoirs, you start to pick up bits of info. :)

Actually, as Trekkies fans go, I'm relatively normal.... I've never dressed up or walked down the street giving people the Vulcan handsign or demanded a more respectable title like "Trekker" or anything. Check out the "Trekkies" documentary to see people who've gone way too far.

The hardest-core Trekkies would never hang around a site like FR, being far more concerned about the election of the President of the United Federation of Planets than that of the President of the United States.

Oh, and I did go to a convention once, ten years ago. I got to shake hands with Chekov, but that was about as exciting as things got (which is why I've never gone back).

Sounds like a friend of mine named Grabowski. He watched the ST re-reruns so often that he completely absorbed Spock's personality and lost his own identity. Grabowski ended up saying "Interesting" all the time and is probably right now waiting for the 7 year Vulcan cycle to end so he can get himself some Pooty-Tang.
