I created my user page on Jan 28th, 2007. However I beleive my first contribution to Wikipedia was sometime during 2004. I added to the stub page for windsurfing. Thankfully my meager efforts have been enhanced by people who actually know what they are talking about. However my awkward prose is still discernible in the skeleton of the first paragraph. Most noticeably in the rather painful sentence containing the word minimalistic. Go look, it's probably still there.
