<snicker> No, I was 6'1" in high school, and was one of the nerds who
worked out and was deceptively strong.  A few guys tried to pull some
stuff on me in Jr. High, and soon discovered they'd made a mistake.
After that, had the respect of football players, weight lifters, etc.,
and nobody messed with me.  I never received (or gave) any wedgies.

In my "Mainstream audiences ...." comment above, I was talking about the
mainstream/anti-sci-fi people I run into today in everyday life.

I meant an honest to goodness, real sci-fi/fantasy/horror channel, one
without wrestling or mainstream movies, or cheap ass BS Reality TV.
