Hoary has not even started his/her user page, and has already jumped into the every-day maintenance of Wikipedia by listing an article (a joke) on VfD! Excellent start, and you show a great desire to learn more. To encourage this, I hereby present you with the newly-invented Exceptional Newcomer award. You may now use this award image on your user page, talk page or where-ever you like.
