OK, great. So how was this a non event? Wasn't aware that millions of

Sometimes you don't need to meet someone in person to tell what they are

pretty sure I've accurately pigeonholed. I liked you *before* I met you, for
example.

I just picked one item on his list, I could have picked on several others
instead.
So that's irrelevant.
