10,000...looking back

Ronald who?

I want you all to appreciate one thing: For every one of those 10,000 posts, there was a crew of moderators looking over his shoulder who had to read each and every one of them.

Ronald: you've made a whole lot of work for us.

Congratulations.

Oh sure..makin' me feel bad about being here.

Were my posts that hard to understand that the whole crew of mods had to read them?

Ronald, your original gear list looked a lot like mine. I had the 10D, 28-135 and 85 1.8 before going nuts here and spending more money than I ever thought I'd ever spend in a lifetime. Also, did you just change your signature again! The 30D?

I think Suzy wins the prize for most observant.

Continue to keep your eyes open. You've missed something still

ROFLMAO!!

Seriously, though, you joined 9 days after me and I've only got a few over 1,500 -- I can't imagine having 10,000 at this point???!!!

But then again, I've never owned even one 24-70!

Congrats.

Well, we tried, but that was a long time ago.

Do you mean the 85 1.2?

Congratulations Ron & I've enjoyed all the 24-70 vs 24-105 threads that we've been on opposite sides of the fence on....keep posting

His sig. is morphing with every 12 posts

Damn right, Lisa. It's all the fun I have!

Don't blink!

Well Ron, it looks like you're having a lot of fun right now...but I have to ask...will you really be happy with the 30D? Given the fact that you shoot in low light so much?

Let's see I joined in May of 2005, you joined in Aug. I can honestly say I have enjoyed most of your posts, but I still think you need to get out once in awhile..... Congrats..............​.Joe

10,000 posts in less than a year and a half. Some would say it's crazy; some would say I have no life. Both of them would be correct. All I know is that since I've joined here, I've met a host of helpful people, and learned so much about photography, it boggles my mind. I went from using auto mode only when I signed up, to almost exclusively in manual mode. I went from an XT with a kit lens, 28-135, and a 50 1.4, to a 5D, several L lenses, and a load of other equipment. It's been incredibly fun and interesting. I've had a hell of a time chatting with tons of great people like Suzy, Mark, Sari, Peter, Tom, Jake, Maureen, Dante, Jim, Don, Dan, Dan, Tommy, and many many more. I also chatted with other people, like Dave.

I want to thank everyone for their help, and for being such upstanding folks.

It's been fun. Here's to 10,000 more.

Wow! You almost brought tears to my eyes. So much emotion.
Way to go, Ronald!

Nah, probably not. If I'm not, I'll just put the ol' 24-70 back on the block and go back. No biggie. Then I'd have the 35L and 85L, and I'm soon to be getting another 135L, so I should be all set there.


I am having lots of fun, though. I'm excited to be getting a keg. Anxious to see just how good it is.

Congrats, Ronnie! I know I'll never catch up with you, but it's fun trying.

Ron you set the bar darlin'.. truly.. i'm really confused though.. two 30D's?... what's up Ron? were you bored again...?..
