Posting a reply "bumps" the message back up to the top of the section, where it is more likely to be read.

Exactly: nothing to do with the condition of the gramophone or with the sale (except that it usually implies that the item is still unsold

).

In Internet "SPEAK".... "BUMP" means to PUSH or FORWARD something (An e-mail, a subject, or a post) to someone else or a group. IT can also mean a "REPEAT" of something that has already been previously posted..meaning that it is just a "REPEAT" of the same prior posting..

Though you should know...

That has almost cleared it up I thought it might be a bump in a record which I have several or a bump in the road ruining my tires. It almost looks like we have a good bump or a bad bump depending where the bump is applied. Did I hear that Edison said to bump or not to bump.. that is the question??? Maybe the bump should ride off into the sunset>>> Tom B
