Meine Dame,

Great idea!  Consider it duly swiped.  I'll pass it on, too.  My wife makes
a habit of inviting some of the single soldiers we know who enjoy our game
along  so that can be a way for _them_ to make new friends too.  Although
they love it and feel comfortable with us, I've noticed that they have a
slight case of p.f. and this sure sounds like a nice 'in' for them with
others who may feel the same.  Hopefully shy people get along well with
other shy people.

Guten abend,
