Correction.

Armed with a foil and hidden in the depths of his lair next to the playground, our hero, the computer lab manager who majored in anthropology, waged a nuclear war from his Macintosh. His drive came from no hope of glory nor recognition, only to protect his dear Wendryn and his microwaveless home in Sparks, Nevada. Unfortunately, a stray missile blew him up. Big time.

No, not apples. That I know of. But Apples, yes. Particularly a certain type.

And I don't find it scary... but xander should. We know all about you, Mr. A. M. Henderson. And Ms ex-Barnhart, as well.

Trust is a weakness. You should know that by now...Alexander.

Meh. You could find the same information by reading a local paper (probably online), leafing through a phone book, or calling information. I don't see much need to hide who I am online, and I tend to be fairly careful with the information that really does need to be kept safe (i.e. credit card number, mother's maiden name, social security number, &c.). If you wanted to know, you should have just asked. By the way, Wendryn kept her last name. :)

Hey there xander. You wouldn't have a credit card number that you could, uh, tell us all about, would you?

Is someone trying to steal my title as resident Introversion stalker? I blame Ebola entirely, 'too nice to be a stalker' indeed >_<

([0-9]{4}) ([0-9]{4}) ([0-9]{4}) ([0-9]{4})

Also, the first two digit groups of xander's card is wrong. No credit card company has a BIN that starts with a 9. At a guess, xander's card (assuming he has one), starts with a 4. Am I correct xander? :)

You might be correct, but I ain't saying.

Hehe. It's quite simple. The first (two) digit(s) of a card identifiy the issuing bank. A 4 means you've got a Visa card. 51 to 55 means Mastercard. But then, I would wager you've a visa. :P
