I just added this text:

=You Can Edit This Page=

Really, you can.

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'll respect that format.

Actually, scratch that. Since this page is so simple and ugly, my
ultimate dream is that some person who thinks it is fun will come
along and make it look as perfect as Angela's user page.

Anyhow: see that link up there? 'edit this page'. Go for it, it's a
wiki.
