I asked her if she'd experienced any problems registering, which she had, and now we're more or less chit-chatting.. I have no idea what to ask to establish if she's ig or not

Dear Angela,
Thank you for your interest in The Mind Mission Academy! I'm a former schoolteacher and education professor and wanted to do something cutting edge with education and technology. We are just in the pilot stages right now, working with a handful of kids. We'll see where it goes!
I applied to The Ariston Institute. I found them when I was looking for some continuing education classes. Have you heard anything about your application yet?
You're the second inquiry I've had today. How did you find me? Curious as to how I suddenly got so popular, lol!
Sincerely,
Dr. Elizabeth Hughes
its funny how she mentions at the bottom being the second inquiry , i know you messaged tal but now im thinking if she was in game would she say that? LOL wouldnt she welcome ALL inquiries..

Fwiw: Just sussed out that 'machete' is an anagram for Teach Me . Also, 'cheat me' 'tho am liking the first better as a msg from our mysterious email interceptor.
