* In issue #150, a fan posed a question in the Roundtable: “I would very much like to know if any of the rest of you experience a lull in your K/S enthusiasm occasionally." Several fans respond to the question. Here are two of them:
: One fan describes how she joined the fandom in the early 80s and has bought many zines over the years; she feels sad that so many of the authors she loved to read have left the fandom while her own interest in it has never wavered. She comes to the conclusion that her love of K/S stems from her love of TOS and despite watching the various other Trek series, none have affected her emotionally the way TOS does, and the way her two favourite characters, Kirk and Spock and their clear love for each other, whether the viewer believes they took it to the physical level or not. She believes that for all the fans who have remained steadfast to the fandom, that love is "a fire that will never go out."
: Another fan addresses the same issue, describing first, as head of the K/S Press North American zine library, she gets to hear the enthusiasm and feedback that fans have after borrowing the zines; that second, she goes to the Shoreleave convention every year and enjoys the spending time with old friends and fellow fans, who inspire her to write; and that third, she finds zines have been her place of emotional refuge; that these are the things which have kept her in the fandom for so many years.

* In the Roundtable Bersahki responds to Ivy's question in Issue #150 regarding belonging to K/S fandom, describing her lifelong interest in the show, and how it had such groundbreaking plot-lines, focusing on political issues of the day in a way no other show was able to. She looks at the policies of the Obama administration and says "Roddenberry's fictional universe, feel[s] very much in step with current events" in terms of a foreign policy that is a cross-cultural exchange that is "very much in sync with the Federation's Prime Directive, which stipulates that humanity should observe but never interfere with alien cultures (no Iraq-style invasions, in other words)..." Although she hasn't yet seen the new movie, she believes that being "built to celebrate diversity, understanding and hope is definitely audacious" and is excited that a new audience will be introduced to the Star Trek universe and its tenets.
* Carolyn S comments on the review of Desert Heat that "holds a very special place in my heart" in the first K/S zine she bought and also mentions Courts of Honor and how she believes it is one of the best portrayals of Kirk she had read.
