Part of the problem with that image is that I think relatively few Trekkies
would care enough about the language to want to help. The overlap between
costume fans and language fans is surprisingly -- and disappointingly --
small.
The quantity of warm bodies is rarely a relevant figure of merit in a court
of law. Anyway, I think people showing up dressed as copyrighted
characters in significant numbers would be counterproductive.
