Gabriel,

"Introduced" should be used in the broadest possible sense. I do not  
see a need for exact descriptions, since they anyway decay with time  
and space :)

It is possible now to be introduced by more than one person :) How  
this affects the Newcomb number is a different story.

Best,

Robert
