Exactly. I once worked with a guy who could do perfect Klingon makeup and costume, and regularly did so for local theaters when a new movie appeared. When I called him a Trekkie he said "I'm not a Trekkie, I'm a Trekker. there's a difference you know."
I replied with the same comment I made above. I'm not a Babbie, though I love B-5, and I'm not a Browncoat, though I love Firefly. I don't do dress-up at all, but I freely admit to being a WhoNut.
