Great name for a messageboard… **manhattan** … Sadly, if I were to apply the same logic, calling myself **Southport** simply doesn’t have the same panache. ---

Aww… Manny’s been a staple of the SDMB for as long as I can remember. It just won’t be the same loading up the front page and seeing his name glaring down on all the little people that may (or may not) want to screw around in GQ. It’s like Disneyland without the teacups. ---

May the road rise up to meet you, **Manny**. There’s always a beer waiting for you in Amsterdam. Happy trails! ---

Moderating an extremely busy bulletin board like this one has to consume almost as much time as a full time job, even when you’ve got others helping out with the load. Thanks for your hard work, and for helping make the SDMB what it is. Hope you stay around! Dan ---
