== Blanking your talk page = not cool == 

 Hi Jim. I strongly suggest you archive your Talk page instead of blanking it. Please read Wikipedia:Talk pages#Can I do whatever I want to my own user talk page? (the answer is no). cheers,   

 :Huh. I didn't know that anyone just blanked their talk page. *shrugs* At any rate, archiving it does make it easier for people to see what interactions you've had in the past - of course they're all still available in the page history. But I guess it's up to you.
