It’s not Manual, it’s ManWELL!

No I’ve never read the manual. I didn’t even know we were issued manuals. I think I’ve read the rules enough by seeing other people get fussed at. Long time ago I copied a full-length poem or song and got a little finger wagging, but other than that my lack of reading the manual hasn’t affected my stay here much.

So you mean the thread title is also missing a comma? And it’s actually: “Have you ever read the board, Manuel?”
