I believe that on at least one occasion you have corrected people saying that we are called 'Browncoats', repling words to the effect that: "Some of us call ourselves Purplebellies." I can't find the thread which you said that on, but I do remember it.
I think.

EDIT - It has just occured to me that I may have a problem with my brain being missing...

So it's just me, adopting the Imperial Plural Pronouns; that's what purple does to you.
I shall adopt the form Not all Firefly/Serenity fans call themselves Browncoats
Back to being alone

I'll keep an eye out for anymore. Got a friend who might think of himself more as a Purplebelly than a Browncoat, just to be different.
See if I can get him to join the site.

Great idea to get new blood of any colour to the site. I think I can see a flaw in the argument If you like being different, there's someone just like you there. I'm happy to work-share, though
