Well done Rob. I think it is fair to say that since you have joined Pixalo, you have certainly left your mark!! And Pixalo is the better for it.

I think you deserve the crown for your constant help and advice that goes way above the 'call oF duty'.

In saying this, I also salute Gary and everyone else who has provided me, and the Pixalo community with advice and support. I'm sure that we all appreciate that the rep points system is, in the main, a lighthearted ploy to gencourage people to get more actively involved in the community, and is not an indication of anything else.

Congrats Rob.

I've just come back from the bookies and got a tenner on you reaching 200 rep points before Christmas

LOL P-E, what odds did you get? <g>

Thanks all for your kind comments. I am a very enthusiastic member of this wonderful forum as you all know because we get to share in each others knowledge and experience and I learn something virtually every time I sign on (that's quite a lot.... oh, you'd noticed!)

When I joined in September, Gary was the one I was challenged by because of the way he helps others on Pixalo so much and nothing has changed, I admire and respect him just as much as ever now. I also admire and learn from everyone who posts, not just those who clearly have an advanced knowledge of photography but also the beginners because we so often ignore the basics and need reminding of them: that is the ultimate strength of this forum.

I agree with Dab that having a lot of rep points does not mean anything special and I certainly do not consider myself to be superior in any way shape or form. If nothing else, I feel the Reps points system is a simple way of saying thanks and if that's what I can take my points to mean then I am delighted to have helped in some way. I shall continue making tutorials and things because I love helping others to enhance their PS skills and it makes me think about how I do stuff at the same time. You'd be amazed how many new buttons and things I have discovered from just 'playing around' and preparing to explain things to others in my PS courses that i run.

So thanks all, being the biggest rep whore is a bit of fun but ultimately all of us just want to enjoy our photography and share it with others as much as we can. The true Reps Points leaders by a million miles are the amazing Pixalo Crew who provide us with this incredible forum.

Cheers all,

Rob
