13. I also hope Manny's tombstoning will be reconsidered

I was familiar with those terms precisely as you emphasized. I have been here since 2001, and I have gone over that several times. So when I read he had been tombstoned, I was shocked. I really will miss his threads.

Thank you for posting this. You are a really decent person for doing so.

There is a lot more I would like to say, but I have been overdosing on posting here the last two days and I need a break. I am going to watch the debates which are coming on soon. But if you learn anything else about this, could you possibly email me and let me know. I am wondering if Manny just had so many hides on other threads, and when this last one was hidden, if he hit the limit. I don't even know if there is a limit that when one hits that number, they are automatically tombstoned? Do you know?

Talk to you again soon, I hope,

Sam
