Hence the 'if you wanted' clarification. Nice little verbal asterisk there, Stringbean, meant to indicate the idea of it being your call? I've had the overbearing friend do the 'set you up against your will' thing more than once, it's not fun and not cute and not something I'm about to do to anyone else. [ Not even if it'd be hilarious, that's a trick played on the closest of friends when you can predict the outcome. Not someone he's just met where there are still too many variables. ]

I don't have the patience for teaching, trying to bring a concept to an introductory level sounds too much like condescension from me unless I'm dealing with the very young because kids tend to not give a shit, they're just happy to learn something. Much as it pains me- Where's Siri will probably be a decent place to start but MetaMalt's research department- that looks interesting. Not my strongest field but I've dipped my toe in 'get godlike figures drunk' before.
