This is my 10,000th post in the DaniWeb Java forum. so I hope I won't get an infraction for being off-topic.

I just thought this would be the perfect opportunity to thank all the people who have helped to make this such a valuable and rewarding experience for me. I can't name them all now, but particular thanks go to peter_budo and Ezzaral who, 5 years ago, set me on the right path for "how to respond to a DaniWeb post", ~s.o.s~ who has forgotten more about programming than I ever will know (despite his being completely wrong about happiness) and mKorbel whose knowledge of Swing is even more amazing that his interesting use of the English language. Others deserving a special mention include masijade, stultuke, bestJewSinceJC, jwenting and the much-missed NormR1. Everyone else: you know who you are...

I'm really looking forward to continuing working with, debating with, and learning from all you guys.

10,000 thanks
James

Congratulations James! Up to the next 10000!!!

  • (1) and mKorbel whose knowledge of Swing is even more amazing that his interesting use of the English language. ---> not true this knowleges is (only) based on reading Q&As on many Forums

  • (2) and mKorbel whose knowledge of Swing is even more amazing that his interesting use of the English language. ---> I daily reading milion words in thousands sentences wrotten in English language, but nothing from them is saved in my built_in memory, any brain cell for English language in my head,

  • (3 - flamewar) whats said your woman for your effort here, this isn't tick-tack, but lots of time here,

I thnk you are too modest about your knowledge of Swing. It doesn't metter where you got it - it's still amazing.

whats said your woman for your effort here

Well. yes, that's a very good question. We discussed this at great length, and I have agreed that I only do DaniWeb in "spare" time. If there's anything else happening relating to family, real life etc, that always takes priority. That's one reason why I never do chat rooms - I never know when something else will take priority and I will simply walk away from the copmputer for a minute/an hour/a day.

congratulations on 101 posts in 16 hours since your 10k mark :)

Sorry, that was 10,000 in the Java forum - currently 10101 in all forums (fora?). In fact, I like 10101 better as a number....

yes, it's binary, much nicer than 10102

10101 binary = 21 decimal?
101010 is way much nicer!

I'm really looking forward to continuing working with, debating with, and learning from all you guys.

Congratulations James and thanks for your kind words. I honestly feel that this Java forum/community owes a lot to your love for Daniweb, Java and desire to help folks! :)

Hmm, I've never heard of moderators giving other moderators infractions!

Anyhow, 10,000 + posts is now small feat and congrats on that. I'm not catching up quick.

Hmm, I've never heard of moderators giving other moderators infractions!

Well, I can, but I swear that thought never crossed my mind. ;)

I'll just pretend that I was named somewhere in your acceptance speech for writing such an awesome platform in the first place. :) Seriously, congrats!

... and of course Dani, whithout whose imagination and hard work none of this would have been possible.

[is that OK, do I keep my moderator badge now?]

Good save JamesCherrill!

at least we know it was time well spent ;)

Well done James and thank you for kind words to estranged Jave developer! Yes I do Android but that is different story ;)
