Hello to all!
Bootblack is not new to wikipedia. During last several months, he has taken much from the Project for his studies, as also for general reading for pleasure. Now, he wants to contribute a little, and be an editor! It sounds so exciting, glamorous, and Great!! With this in view, Bootblack has formalized his relationship with wikipedia by registering and taking a user name, and becoming a true wikipedian.

Shall I become a good editor here?
I am highly possessive of my profession of being a Bootblack and accordingly have also registered right now as BootBlack and Boot Blacks to ensure that similar names do not get in circulation here adversely affecting my profession.
