Man, I’m so disappointed. I really thought from the OP’s title it would be about the proliferation of bran muffins and prune juice through New York. Oh well, this is good too, I guess. ---

In addition to moving threads all day, **manhattan** holds down a 12-hour-a-day gig as a Wall Street Titan of Finance, dishes up peas at suppertime as a volunteer at the Varick Street homeless soup kitchen, rehabilitates violent convicts at Riker’s Island, knits mufflers for little blind children, and still has time to maintain a handicap of three at golf! And he’s a damn good cook. ---

All _I_ got was a sharp [reprimand](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=43981). ☹ But then we [made up](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=44312). I love you manny. ---

**Connor** , hey, I know you hate me right now (for picking the Raiders over the Chiefs and all…), but although that thread was most definitely posted to the wrong forum, I think you might get a nice response over in MPSIMS with it. I for one would like to see you re-post it there. And I’ll try to pick the Chiefs next week. ---

I’m suprised he didn’t move it. Instead, its dying a slow death. Without bombarding him with an e-mail, what’s the best way to get it moved? Just repost it? * * * I hate **Gazoo** ---

I don’t think it would be a problem for anyone if you just reposted it in MPSIMS. ---

Sounds good to me. Sorry for the hijack, neuroman. * * * I don’t really hate **Gazoo**. ---

I myself have often thought of Manhattan as a paragon of moderating virtue. I don’t have the link but he once shifted a thread _in verse_ Now that’s a man you marry! ---

Man, I had the lousiest day today. I tried to take the day off, but had like three phone calls. Then my damn phone went out! (stupid Verizon just changed their name so we can’t call them Hell Atlantic or New York Hell anymore.) Then, about a dozen other things. And then I learned about this thread. You guys are absolutely the greatest! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Knowing that I’m doing some small part in keeping this great endeavor entertaining and educational for our amazing readership is a real thrill. **Soup** , I knew I should have placed a smiley after that. I apologize that you took it more seriously than I meant it. I was just flirting with **Silver Fire** , honestly. Thanks again, all. ---

manhattan, No sweat. I’m actually starting to feel like a member of an exclusive club: Those Who Have Been Transfered By manhattan. But now that I’m a member, I’ll be more careful with future postings. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/way-to-regulate-manhattan/39489.md?page=1)
