That's what a lot of posters can't seem to grasp.

Now don't get me wrong, whoever posted that Manna still had his shy up for years after his conviction was spot on. Tino handled it for him until the day he died. But generally speaking, your power fades over time when you're inside for life.

I mean, I hardly follow the Colombos because they're not Bronx based. I know a little about Richie Fusco because he was close to Greg, and currently I know a bit about Tommy Farese. But that's about it. But the Colombos are the best example because there are people on these boards (no one in particular here, by the way) who need to believe that Carmine Persico is still cryptically calling the shots like some Bond villain.

Pleeeze. These days, Carmine Persico is probably content to get soft pudding a few times a week and keep his diaper dry.
