Geek pops the question online
Summary
Slashdot co-founder Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda successfully proposed to Kathleen Fent on his own "News for Nerds" site on Valentine's Day morning.
"Kathleen, I wanted to do this in the most potentially embarrassing way possible, and I figured doing it here and now, in front of a quarter of a million strangers, was as good a way as any. I love you more then I can describe within the limits of this tiny little story. We've been together for many years now, and I've known for most of that time that I wanted to spend my life with you," Malda posted. "Enough rambling. Will you marry me?"
Fifteen minutes later came the reply: "Yes," Fent responded. "Dork. You made me cry. :)" Fittingly, she also posted her reply on her own Web site. --Stephen Shankland, Special to ZDNet News
