I really don't enjoy free-form discussions on Misplaced Pages, hence I rarely read this page and almost never respond to comments. Comments left here usually get deleted. This is nothing personal, it's a time-management decision.
If you have a comment on an article I am editing, please make it on the discussion page of that article, as I monitor all the discussion pages.
- Manning.

Hi, Manning. Quick question: is User:ManningBartlett another account of yours? It matches the history you describe on your userpage. If so, you should include it in your candidate statement with the following template: *{{usercheck-short|ManningBartlett}}. Thanks! - Mtmelendez 10:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Wow - I had no idea that account even existed. It is a relic from the changeover from UseModWiki to MediaWiki (we couldn't have spaces back in the old days) and I had long assumed it was killed in the move. I have since deleted the talk page as there was nothing on it except some ancient bot messages. Manning (talk) 10:17, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- You'd be surprised how much Misplaced Pages history is recorded. :). - Mtmelendez 11:56, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
