I'm not sure if you're trying to insult me or just make a random point.
Even letting that pass by, I find quite a difference between not having
a 'deep knowledge' of something, and not having a 'basic knowledge'.

Ignoring threads on thread that is mostly abandoned to terribly low
level of posts frequently results in people putting their terrible ideas
without even bothering to wait for a competent reply.
As for that Manifest thread, I didn't notice any post that would request
any reply. As far as I can see, it was mostly hijacked into 'why we
still don't have proper verification, and why asking questions about it
does not make it happen?!'
