DSXchange

Hi All,
I'd like to propose a 10,000 posts count down to show our apretiation to Ray's contribution to this place.
With fireworks and all when he achieves this goal

Please cast your vote.

Thanks Ray

Here Iam. :D
Hope the home page would have another 10,000 fireworks so soon.

Yes Sure

Your Yoeman service to datastage and datawarehousing is highly appreciated

Ray knows we appreciate him. He complained the most about the current graphics. I say give Ray whatever he wants.

Hi,
If statistics hold good(8.13 posts/day),Ray will reach 10k in 50 days.
Congrats Ray.

regards
kcs

Its would not be exaggeration if I say, Ray has contributed a lot not only to DSXchange but to 10000 Developers of Datastage. He would be one of the reason for this tool to get extended up.
It will be always interesting to collect the statics and grapsh and interesting information about great acheivers.
Though he joined this forum on 23 Oct 2002 (one among the early bird) his acheivment and posts are still in high speed delivery.


The total post made by him so far 9591... no 9592.... no 9593... (Keep updating every now and then, so cannot get the exact figure )

(All the following figure captured by the 20-30 min before posting. )

Total No of topic - 6565
Total points - 61911

12.24% of total of total posts.
8.13 posts per day.

Under each catagory his contribution is as follows.

In Datastage Server Editon nearly 51.70% is contibuted by Ray.
For Datastage PX it comes around 45.92% of the total posts.

He posted 50% than the top 2nd poster (the next legend Craig )

Hummm..... I wish i could get my total points as is total number of posts atleast to this point of time.

Absolutely Amazing!!!!!!!

We should really appreciate his help to the whole DSX community.

Hats off to Ray

Hello, not only the quantity is unbeatable, what is more valuable is his quality. Ray's tipps and information are worth gold.

Congratulation, if you pass one day nearby in Europe you shall feel invited to a bottle of Champagne....

Thank you for your kind words. My posts/day rate has fallen over the last year or so, for the very good reason that more others are now able to provide sufficiently good answers to questions, so that I don't need to as often. It used to be over 10 per day.

Of course, you'll still get a "full Wurlod" now and again, when it's important to explain exactly why something behaves as it does.

But, if I may, a plea. I AM busy (self-employed), so please don't send private messages or emails asking me to solve this, or look at that, or answer this particular post. I'm sure the same applies to the other top posters also.

And, if I don't respond to some particular post, there are several possible reasons.
(1) I am asleep (Australia is NOT the same time zone as USA/Europe!).
(2) I don't know the answer (yes, it IS possible).
(3) The answer has already been posted by someone else.
Only I will know which it was!

I thank Ray and all other top posters for their invaluable contribution.
Certainly we need to have 10k countdown for Ray.

Thanks ray and all other posters,who are helping at crictical situations and making our work comfortable.
All the best

It occurred to me to take a short vacation from posting when on about 9998 posts, just to thwart the bookmakers and gamblers.

Congratulations on the countdown Ray
I wonder who were the other 4 persons you convinced to object to this idea besides yourself (j/k)

It's only saying : "We appreciate your contribution Ray"

By the way they can never know as long as you keep posting move requests for posts between forums and I remove such posts
