Television fans who organize to keep their favorite shows on the air, or even don the occasional Star Fleet Commanding Officer's uniform, are often depicted as lonely losers with too much time on their hands. According to TV columnist Belinda Acosta, the truth is quite the opposite.

"...and the implications of any action, repeated references to Robert's Rules of Order, windy defenses, and flaring tempers. In..."
