From the Boston Globe article:
"But like radiation or steroids, "Star Trek" is heady stuff, and must be used with caution, its effects closely monitored. Let it be enough that you can now hold your own with some of the luminaries of science, and meddle not with the memorization of episode titles or the conversion of your significant other's birthday to its star date equivalent. After all, you don't want to end up spending all your free time writing online erotic stories involving Spock, Kirk, and the strange Vulcan mating ritual known as "pon farr." But if taken in moderation -- one episode per day -- "Star Trek" can teach you to win friends, influence people, and, of course, live long and prosper."

lol. If only someone warned me of taking Star Trek in moderation in the beginning, then probably my friends wouldn't have started calling me TREKMAN: The MAN Who Knows His TREK, and truely believe that I will start the Church of Star Trek mentioned in the Star Trek episode of Futurama (which, when you really get to know me, it's not really a far fetch idea). I'm already used to my friends saying, "Dude, get a life!", but when other Trekkies, especially here, start telling me the same thing that I should really cut down on my TREK, I start to realize I have a problem and I should go to Star Trek Anonymous. Then I realize there is no STAto go to, so instead I just see more Star Trek like I normally do.
