Liam: I'm not saying the things that are simply silly can't be ignored. But "Alderaan" is a perfectly valid name for a planet. If the display said "Diplomatic mission to that planet that Princess Leia was from in Star Wars", we'd have to ignore it. But there's nothing wrong w/ "Alderaan".
Besides, we've got a ship class called "Akira". Isn't that just as bad?

Well, 'ship named after battleship from memorable scene in famous novel' is hardly the same as 'ship named after eponymous hero of 1990s Japanese anim�.' Then again. . . maybe Akira comes second in 24th-century polls of Greatest Movie Of All Time. After Citizen Kane, of course. 8)

Your use of multiple exclamation marks make me concede. You are the better man.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

What was this 'DS9' calender? Was it like SotL? Did it have computer imagery of models, or screnshots, or what? Can anyone do a pic of the supposed USS Santa Maria?
