I can't reply to Chris' comment for some reason, so posting the reply here:

I'm sorry that I came across as crass and socially awkward - I hope I can prove to you that I'm not so bad in person one day.

The PS and PPS are edits because I got excited about what this meant for us and realized I was being too self promotional esp. to people that knew nothing about us, so thought I'd give some background and clarify my feelings.

PS. No offence taken :)
