  == Friendly note regarding talk page messages ==  Hello.  As a recent editor to , I wanted to leave a friendly reminder that as per WP:USER, editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages.  While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors like this one- from deleting messages from their own talk pages.  The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or IP header templates (for unregistered editors).  These exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system.  Thanks,
