I just found it an interesting exercise. As a foreigner I'd never heard of them, and when someone suggested it I thought "oh well, why not" and just did the test, just out of curiosity. To me it wasn't a big deal (as I said before, I'm not big on chest thumping for belonging to a club), but it annoyed the guy I was working for and that made it worth it for a while.
As for your "invite" - I gather you didn't get her hint then?
(sorry, weekend and all that :) ).
