"Bump" in this case was being employed to bookmark a thread that contained useful or interesting information that I wanted to come back to later. I had nothing to actually say about it (yet), so I simply wrote "bump." I have no interest at all in keeping the thread alive or bringing it to the top otherwise.

(Bump, the poor man's bookmark.)



This is tantamount to spraypainting your name on your favorite public park bench. You're changing the shared public world purely to suit your own purposes.

The only "bump" that irritates me more is when the OP bumps a thread by doing an "invisible" edit on the first post. The thread comes to the top, you look at the end and there's no new post at all.
