昨天，在 PhotoshopCafe Forum post了我的第10,000则留言。
http://www.photoshopcafe.com/cafe/viewthread.php?tid=48730
The 10,000th is nothing but a figure, or simply 5 digits of which 4 are repetitives. Yes, its probably a big number, but a number of emptiness, of uselessness, of nothing, …
if without you.
I was, but a noob, who stumbled my way here, with an address in the book Photoshop Most Wanted. I started with churning “abstract art” (note the quotation marks) by playing with / random mixing filters, layer styles. I never dared to look back at works before 2006, a time before my involvement and love relationship with the Cafe and members in the Cafe.
Simply said, it is the Cafe that makes me, Cafe that gave me the eye to design, the eye for typography and Cafe who makes me the designer I am today.

dogtrombone(Barry Downard) :Corker!
mkeefe(Matthew Keefe) : Congratulations on your 10,000th post! It has been very unique to see you grow on your journey through life, and can not thank you enough for your contribution to countless threads.
Here’s to many many more thousands.
Hermie(Herman) : Finally she has entered the 10000. 10001 is the next step.
I came in on July 5th, 2006 and she didn’t comment on that thread!!!
. That still hurts, but he you cant win them all because the rest she did.
Congrats on the 10000 and let’s go to the 10001 and then 10002, 10003, 10004, 10005, 10006, 10007, 10008, 10009, 10010, etc….
the_biggest_lebowski(T.J Powell) :You know, you got me reminiscing, Elaine. So I went back and looked at one of my very first posts (in fact, it was my first post in the Show Your Work section) and guess who was the first to respond?
Why, you, of course!
And you also didn’t like my font choice! No surprises there!
Thanks Elaine, for always being there to give your honest opinion and criticisms, even to a 3-day-old Cafe newbie!
CBCOOLEST : Oh well I only met you a while ago and I was very very pleased by the way you handled me. I was someone totally new for you but you didn’t turn your back on me instead you helped me with tips like: “this isn’t good” or” you should stop doing that because…” or even” hmm..it looks better but you still have a long way to go” etc etc
It was a nice feeling to be criticised and also appreciated at the same time, depending on what I did. Although I don’t know most of you guys I am sure in time we will get to know each other much much better. I am very glad to see you around Ray and thanks for every step you showed me and for always being a true helper not only by saying but by showing and exemplifing. I wish you best of luck and many more posts to come.
kiwicolin (Colin Smith, PhotoshopCafe Founder) : Congratulations Ray!!
I figured you were busy cooking up something special for your 10,000 th. Well done!
You have come a long way since those early day. The best is yet to come. Heres to 100,000
[Colin Smith 预备送我他的Training DVD Download，我仍在斟酌应该选择哪个DVD。谢谢！]
JMe (Jamie) : Congrats Ray! Despite the fact i am not a ‘regular’ poster, i still visit and read your posts everyday!
Still, my fondest memories of you and this forum is the PSC league, which you founded and maintained brilliantly for the time it was running! (My proudest moment on the forum being when i unexpectedly won the Cyborg challenge against you!
muahaha!)
Seriously though, you are the life of the forum… and even in the few days you took off before 10000, its seemed a little quiet around here!
Next stop, 100k!
randytoons(Randy) : Congrats!…I’m always reading something good from you…Your always willing to lend a hand or make a great comment….Keep up he good work!
phosho(Zoerb) : Nicely done…you’re a great part of the cafe, and it just wouldn’t be the same without you!
Keep up the criticism…positive and negative…and keep making some awesome art!
cfire(Frank Priboy) :Congrats Elaine!!! Looking forward to many more.
thedoc(Gray Gilmore) : 10,000. Wow.
Lebby got me thinking about my first post. Guess who commented first on that one too? Elaine Elaine Elaine haha.
You’ve helped me on too many things to count, so thank you a ton, and keep on posting that quality stuff!
Whubee : Congrats ! 10,000 is a lot of posts.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I may not post much of my work, but I know I can always count on you for an honest critique.
You have helped make the cafe a happy and inspirational place to visit for me on a daily basis. Thanks!
Thorax48 :
Congratulations on your achievement of 10,000 posts! I don’t know you, but from what I’ve seen of your works and read of your posts, you definitely are a talented designer-type-person-human, and your critiques hit on finer points of people’s works, more than “that’s pretty” or “this part sucks!”
我总认为，人在这世上的意义，不在于拥有多少，有多少钱，而在于，你为这世界贡献了什么？在我的10,000则留言里，我相信，我和大家分享了我对设计（排版、绘图、字体、网页、印刷）的看法、意见，帮助了一些人，教导了一些人，也在这10,000则留言里，结交了许多好友。
友谊，能是跨国界的。好友也不一定要近在咫尺。这样天涯咫尺的友情，未尝不行呢？
谢谢大家对我（对rayvolvez）的支持！没有你们，这10,000则留言，真的没什么。
