Picture me as the britney spears guy. Really though. It’s borderline stalking at this point, and too much personal info on the guy has been posted here. I lost my damn wallet many years ago and I’d be pretty pissed if some message board was throwing my name and personal information around. ---

There has been a thread in another forum about someone finding an old wallet, and trying to find the guy. There wasn’t anything valuable in it, but in the course of the thread the person’s name and information has been bandied about. ---

Wow, really? I’m surprised they’ve let that go on. ---
