Funny. That's about the rate at which I meet people in the real world who
have even a vague recollection of B5.. And yes, I do meet a fair number of
people in the real world :D

Luckily I work with a few of folks that are nearly as geeky about it as I am,
some have even read some of the books. And some of the youngsters here have
watched the whole show - twice - in recent time, and keeps quoting from it.

Heck, even my gf has been known to quote G'Kar and Ivanova. My bonus kid
quotes Kosh several times a year, un-prompted.

I must have done well.
