OK, I admit it, I'm a long-time Trekkie. I've been using "Tholian" since I first got online in '98...so far, Paramount hasn't sued me. The Tholian Web was an episode in the third season of the original Star Trek series; among other things, it featured an emotional scene of Kirk (who I always fancied myself to be, in another life) issuing his "Final Orders" to the crew...being viewed by Spock and McCoy after Kirk has been presumed dead.
I sometimes sign myself "Tholian8," as I do on this forum. The 8 stands for my Enneagram type. I actually met Gez on an email list having to do with Enneagram study.
Speaking of Gez, she found my "Tholian" handle very intriguing, also. And she researched it far more than I ever had! Early in our online acquaintance, she ICQ'ed me and informed me that the Tholian race, um, never had sex. They were asexual. For more info: http://home.austin.rr.com/jdominion...ces/tholian.htm
More than you ever wanted to know, I'm sure!
