I'm learning German
I like getting simple messages from people in German, but unfortunately I'm not quite ready yet to conduct real conversations in German. I think that I will feel brave enough to promote myself from de-1 to de-2 by the time of Christmas. We shall see.

Really, you can! Please feel free!
This is my user page. I like to keep it a certain way. But, the thing is, I trust you. I trust that you'll add something here that makes me smile, that informs me, or that helps to inform others. If I have things in a certain format, I trust that you will respect that format. Actually, scratch that. Since this page is just so simple and plain, my ultimate dream is that some person who thinks it is fun will come along and make it look perfect. See that link up there 'edit this page'? Go for it. It's a wiki world! – Jimbo
Note that quite a lot of Wikipedians watch my user page and will edit mercilessly or even remove altogether any alterations made. This is a wiki, after all.
