Ok, I've gone back and looked at her contributions. She wasn't on for very long, but I guess she posted enough messages to establish her prior involvement with RinkWorks. So how about this. If she comes back to RinkWorks and contributes at least that much to the message forum again, prior to your eventual theoretical engagement, you two can be eligible for the coveted bathmat and Official RinkWorks Couple title.

(This stipulation, of course, is to lure her back to the message forum so we all can cross-exa--that is, enjoy her company and conversation. Ok, just kidding. But not about her company: I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we would welcome it.)
