		The Surreal Barnstar
		"For adding 'special flavor' to the community by acting as a sort of wildcard." I realized after our latest round of volleys at Fanny Alger (which might be deleted anyway, but that is a different story) that the article is much better after the pressure and friction between us (not to mention several other articles we have edited over the last few months). Sometimes we don't see eye to eye, but I think that the Wikipedia is better for it - especially as you are able to remain civil when edits and consensus doesn't go your way. Thanks for challenging me to be a better editor! (and forgive me if I get frustrated with you in the future ;) ). Descartes1979 ( talk) 06:55, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
