\"\"You may be a geek (to say nothing of a Trekkie) if, when working on the index of a book you edited on religion and science fiction, and you wonder \u2013 even if only for a moment \u2013 whether it is OK to put a reference to imperial Spock from the parallel universe in the index under \u201cSpock\u201d or whether he needs a separate entry of his own.<\/p>\n

OK, if that happens to you, then you are<\/em> a geek \u2013 no maybes and no room for doubt, if there was any previously.<\/p>\n
