I am honored to make your acquaintance (even if virtually), and I deeply admire all you have done for United States. You have actually contributed considerably with your recent SR-71 Blackbird entry, and it is being re-added to the page. I was just initially cautious when moving the entry to the Talk page since the entry was added from an anonymous account, and I also wanted to ensure it meshed well with the previously written material. I'm glad you have an named account now, and I fully encourage more participation. (For the future, you can type four tildes in a row to automatically add a linked signature in the Talk discussion sections.) Welcome to Wikipedia! Egan Loo 20:44, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
