If that is true, then you've just revealed sensitive data about your password, and made it far easier to crack. For fuck's sake people, don't discuss your passwords, especially on a public forum! Discuss passwords in general, discuss good password schemes, but don't ever tell anyone your actual "format" or how many letters / numbers it has.

SavageNerdz: I suggest you change your entire format immediately; you've just made your passwords almost trivial to brute-force.
