Was this as payback for the link to the photo of the 12 year-old Bruce?

Nah, I am sure that Bruce googled the hell out of my name as soon as he had all the pieces of my name. Not to be cryptic, but I’m going to be cryptic. He already knew the few things that were out there, and he made it his business to make sure that any encroaching upon my character was thoroughly researched (ask him about Shannon).

And the picture of 12 year-old Bruce was priceless. I was thinking of getting a photo printed, framing it, and putting it on my desk. When people ask who it is, I am going to say that is the child that I am sponsoring for just 12 cents a day.

I actually think Bruce is rubbing off on me...now that I know the truth behind the ducks…

ooh, oooh, you know the truth behind the ducks!  You must share!! (Must, must!)

Perfect timing, too.  He needs to provide me with three true things about himself and one false thing.

Ahem.  You broke a promise.

Hm, if you don’t mind my saying, Bruce seems a little creepy.  But more to the point, he might be running some kind of false-flag operation.  I would recommend implementing an offensive counterstalking operation as soon as possible.  Seize the initiative so he’s worried about his own information vulnerabilities rather than yours.  Eventually he will make a mistake.  And then you can close the trap and roll up his entire network!

/if James Jesus Angleton wrote an advice column…

Well, F-SW, if you are interested in conducting the counterstalk, feel free. I can provide you with the pertinent information. I am sure that Bruce would be amused to find out he’s being stalked by a stranger on the Internet.

can I stalk too? I like stalking people....

Flickr pictures? I have a flickr account....

Ok, Tanya, you’re on stakeout over the 11pm - 7am shift.  (I think the time zones would generate a natural division of labor here.)

Look casual!

There will be no casual looking stakeout. I expect everyone in formal black tie attire.

Make it work designers.
