Well, just knowing the type of person who sits around the bars in Montana, it's decent odds that the first time was also April 5, 2063...

Oh dear. What Vulcan lady was the one "deflowered?"

Well, considering there were plenty of drunken women there, and a lot of women have a thing for Spock, who's to say handshake guy didn't partake in another form of "first contact?" ;)

Well, given Star Trek rules, it's a possibility from day one. Likely not all of the visitors, but possibly one of them.

If not soon after first contact, trade and transportation would ensure something pops up pretty fast. The whole idea that there wouldn't be any Vulcan-Human pairs is just totally implausible after 10 years, let alone 90.

Remember that Vulcans are very hung up on sexuali, er...... oh, I forgot, this is Enterprise, where Vulcans openly discuss how they mate at the dinner table. Groarugh...
