(1) How can I be a stalker? I'm bedridden in Virginia, he's in California.

I remember about 20 years ago when some people were giving out Bill Gates' Social Security Number to point out the Securities and Exchange Commission was failing to redact information from corporate filings the agency had posted online. I remember looking up the paperwork, and sure enough, it was there. Not that I remembered it, it was just an intellectual curiosity.
