Our friend, Esteban, has been active continuously in the Flashcard section, amassing over 9 million learning points and being number one on the all time flashcard leader board for quite a while. But while doing this he has been active in the forum, accruing reputation points, to the point that he now has joined the few that have 100,000. His dedication to learning the language could not be more evident.

Let’s congratulate him for all the hard work:

And thank him helping make this a very enjoyable and stimulating place to practice and learn:

And on a personal note, let me add that although I have not met him in real life, I consider my fellow Oregonian a true friend, and a very upstanding guy, and I am very glad that he continues to find this place to be an enjoyable place to spend his time.

This post absolutely is refusing to take updates to allow me to fix it. :( - bosquederoble, Sep 12, 2017

So I cannot get the 2 other pictures in, nor link him correctly. I do not have time to keep trying. Sorry. :( - bosquederoble, Sep 12, 2017

I found 2 pictures that work, they were not my orginal choices. :( - bosquederoble, Sep 12, 2017

I edited in a tinyurl for the missing link and pic Bosque. Strange that SD is rejecting links from its own site. - jellonz, Sep 12, 2017

Thanks for the friendly pictures, and kind words in these posts - each of you make SD a great place to learn. enter image description here Thanks also, to all those who over the years, took part in threads with me, & voted up a post of mine. When I started, I never expected to reach this plateau. Without the thread creators & many SD participants; this moment, would not be possible.

enter image description here Finally, thanks Bosquederoble: scholar, man of honor, and true friend!

Hola Esteban, I'm having some problems between my computer and the site, so I'm going to say "Enhorabuena first, then if the site will let me, add a graphic or two.

Cien mil puntos de reputación is nothing to sneeze at!

I thought I'd do a little Flamenco dance for you.

A great guitarist named Esteban was accompanying me as I danced.

So keep on doing all the wonderful things you do on SD. We all love you ??

Congratlations to a legendary great guy 100 K and counting.

Our dear friend Steve has made some fantastic achievements on S D.

which have left me with my mouth agape in amazement but they would

have all paled into insignificance if it were not for the fact that this guy is

the genuine article ,I E kind, considerate , helpful and full of knowledge

which he is only too willing to impart to whomsoever needs helping and

encouraging along the path , whether it be in learning Spanish/English

or a spiritual word of advice. Well done mate members like you make SD

the great site that it is .Here's to the next 100 K. "Legend " .
