    Ha, no such goof Arlo ... I don't think I'd even noticed your previous
    reference to Star Trek ... as you say, a different kettle of fish.

    I was contrasting Star Wars with the 2001 genre - as contrasting views
    of the sources of good and evil. Star Trek as you say is about life on
    the ship - a social parable.

    Phew, close shave there.
