Question

¿Quién es el miembro más prolífico, fecundo y locuaz de esta familia de Spanishadictos?

¿Quién es él que siempre está dispuesto a ayudar a cualquier miembro cuando necesite un poco de ayuda? ¿Quién está siempre alerto y con sus compañeros moderadores nos defienden de los ataques de malvados que quisieran perturbar nuestro gran compañerismo, hasta intentar de destruir la gran obra que hacemos aquí?

Es nuestro amigo y uno de los tres grandes moderadores que vigilan sobre SD y moderan los esfuerzos de este magnífico sitio web.

Ray 76

¿De dónde proviene nuestro amigo, este gran Brujo de OZ?

¡Desde aquí!

¡OZ! El Sur ---pues muy sur--Melbourne. ¡Qué lugar más hermoso!

(Switching to English) Australia is a place of exceeding beauty.

Check out this building.

Some interesting animals.

Some interesting people.

So let's join in a real fun time and dance with Ray and these folks and enjoy life. (Ray is in there somewhere.)

My wonderful friend and mentor, Ray, I salute you for all you have done for SD and for me in particular.

Have a wonderful day!! ??

Answer 1

Gracias a Daniela por esto.

Being a member of S D and a "spanishdictaholic" is both a blessing and a curse.

We are all blessed by being a part of an extraordinary group of disparate

people from every corner of the earth.And yet we all gel despite our age

disparity and religious and political inclinations ,(I will leave it there.) I think

that one of the things we have in common is our love of both Spanish and

English, but more importantly is that we try as much as possible to treat each

other with respect and love , this is unusual on a web site of the duration of SD.

The three mods here try very hard on your behalf to achieve this , it is not easy

and we often receive a lot of flack , our decisions may seam harsh but our desire

and ultimate goal is the continuance of S D as the preeminent teaching site on

the web , and a happy enjoyable learning experience for all members new and

old alike , So thank you all for giving me many years of learning pleasure.

A great post Dani you are as always our favourite Chica de España y 'leyenda'.

Thank you for the vote of confidence mate. - ray76, Nov 10, 2016

Answer 3

That is a truly impressive number. It demonstrates a truly tremendous amount of work and commitment to being here every day. Congratulations, and thank you for all the work you do as a moderator, in running the variety of threads you do, and for the humor you inject into it all from time to time.

And I have to include a few Australia pictures that Daniela missed:

Thanks mate, i must watch out for those , I have been bitten by a very large Spider but in Borneo, very painful also. - ray76, Oct 22, 2016

For a minute I thought that was a Texas spider. - Daniela2041, Oct 22, 2016

Answer 4

You pretty close Amber , you have the heart for it . - ray76, Oct 22, 2016

Answer 5

Our Ray lives in a country that also has 15 of the 16 most poisonous animals and insects in the world. So you know why he is so quick on his feet but spends a lot of time safe at home working on SD.

Nuestra Ray vive en un país que también tiene 15 de los 16 animales más venenosos e insectos en el mundo. Así que ya sabes por qué es tan rápido en sus pies, pero pasa mucho tiempo seguro en casa trabajando en SD.

Muy bien hecho amigo.

:) - Daniela2041, Oct 22, 2016

Nimble is as nimble does ! , Thanks mate and thanks for being a mate. - ray76, Oct 22, 2016

Answer 6

Our dear friend and trusty moderator, Ray, is always hopping off to have an adventure in a foreign land.

Nevertheless, he always seems to be Johnny-on-the-spot to help someone with a Spanish construction . . .

. . . or to ward off the forces of evil who annoy us on our beloved Spanishdict forum.

And now he has earned an astounding 350,000 reputation points!

so . . .

RAY is the best boy we know. Yes, he is!

to you, Ray!

I love your posts AnnRon. You inspire me to make mine better. - Daniela2041, Oct 22, 2016

Answer 8

Well done, mate. You're the best. Did you ever think you'd get to this point way back in 2010 when you started all this? You do so much for this site that it wouldn't be what it is without you. Onward!

Well said. - Daniela2041, Oct 23, 2016

Hola El Rey!

I'm late for the celebration as usual, but my two mates here wanted to know if we could still crash the party.

Gracias por todo Raymond. Congrats!

Onya mate!!!!

:) - Daniela2041, Oct 28, 2016

Hola "J -'Ray' -der" ... - Esteban_317, Oct 29, 2016

Answer 11

¡3 5 0, 0 0 0 Rep. por El Rey!

Incredible - Ray's been voted up for his positive contributions about 35,000 times. The many times he may have been voted for, but got zero(rep at 200) can not be calculated, nor can the number of times he got 1 pt or no pt. by voting up others, as he so often does!

¡Él es realmente un muy buen compañero, que nadie que ama a SD, puede negar!

He's truly a jolly good fellow, that nobody, who loves SD, can deny ! ¡Muchisimas gracias Ray!

Thank you so much Steven , you have been a constant and faithful friend which I appreciate , "mateship' is a prized commodity in OZ. - ray76, Oct 24, 2016

Thank you for your support mate , and also for all the work that you and the Spanish native speakers do for S D without which we could not exist. - ray76, Oct 23, 2016
