Manerva Reloaded?

[Elffindoe]

Whoever the person previously a member known as Manerva is, I’m sure they would be amazed at the response to their disappearance. They couldn’t be anything but be grateful for the appreciation shown them.

It’s a technicality, if Manerva had written posts that now have the “Hidden” label, this means in effect that they closed their Healthunlocked account entirely, not just changed usernames. Otherwise, the new username would appear, not “Hidden”.

It is not possible, I believe, for anybody to rejoin Health unlocked either with the same username or even with the same email address, should they even want to. This is possibly because it is a Healthunlocked rule that you can’t have two accounts at the same time, only one.

Since you only need an email address to join Healthunlocked, then unless somebody is tracking the IP addresses of members there is no possible way that anybody should be able to say, for certainty, that any previous member has returned. The email address will be different and there is nothing else to identify the person. This is a part of the anonymity Healthunlocked provides.

That is, of course, unless the “new” member explicitly states, in this case, “Yes, I used to be known as Manerva”.

My view is, if the person once called Manerva has returned and hasn’t explicitly stated that they used to be Manerva, then they may think there’s a reason for it.

My suggestion is that the speculation should stop and ALL members who offer positive contributions be shown appreciation, whoever they are or whatever their username is.

If the person previously known as Manerva has returned and wishes to remain anonymous that is entirely his prerogative.

It will just be wonderful to have him and his expertise back on the forum 😊

And yes I have to agree, whether we have much to offer as individuals or what seems like just a little, all of our contributions to the forum are valuable and make a difference 🤗

What ever has hapened with Manerva, this is not an satisfying farewell. It feels like a family member is suddenly missed and no one knows why or where he has gone. He left no message or note be behind. There is sadness because he ments a lot for everyone. In fact now they are apreaciating him the most for who he was. Disapearing is perhaps everyones good right but it's not always "all right". Please stay in touch, wathever happens, God bless you Manerva.

[Madlegs1 in reply to River58]

He's back.

Case closed!!

[River58 in reply to Madlegs1]

Super! Didn't know . Thanks Madlegs 👍😇

[Munroist]

Agree. Let's move forward.

The only reason I would look up posts on a daily basis was to see Manerva's replies. What this person didn't know about RSL wasn't worth knowing.

[Madlegs1 in reply to fuzzie]

He still knows it!

He does an incredible amount of research. Available to any of those with a reasonable internet access. Whether we have the interest or time is another matter.

Thankfully, the" Man sword " does the work. For all our benefit.

Without doubt the person formerly known as Manerva has every right to appear and disappear whenever the spirit moves him. And we have no right to judge him. If he took offence at someone’s response perhaps that should act as a reminder to us all to think before we type. M has given much more to this group than he has got in return and I hope he now realizes how appreciative we all are.I suspect he is back and hope it is to stay.

Come on, Elffindoe. Even if Manerva wasn’t such a beloved contributor, his abrupt departure is a mystery. A puzzle posed to a virtual room full of people who can’t sleep. Sleepless people ruminate. It’s just what we do. But rest assured, one by one, as folks feel like they’ve found him again, they’ll stop looking, worrying, and/or talking about it.
