Newbie Has Some Questions
Posted on 09/15/2004 11:12:31 AM PDT by piperpilot
I am fairly new to the site. I think I understand what Pinging is all about but have yet to figure out what a Bump is. Can someone explain? Any other site customs I should know about?

Why yes I do, and I don't think it's very nice of you to accuse me of that. I tried searching the archives for an explanation and couldn't find anything, so I asked the question. If I was truly into vanity posting, I would have posted it to breaking news rather than misc. I didn't accuse you of anything. Your original post came up under News/Activism. The Mods have since moved it to Chat where it belongs.

You're in for a lot of meaningless comments (like mine)
Someone complaining about bloggers and the CBS scam story said we are in our pajamas.
Ping means to notify other Freepers about a n aricle or something that has been posted
Stick around and you will absorb it all

Karl has nothing to do with the running of FreeRepublic. The ower's that be are Jim and John Robinson and their trusted assistants.

Hi. I'm your on-site Dentist. What say we sit down in my chair right here, relax, and get acquainted?
Don't mind these straps... we use them to keep the head in the correct position while I give you a checkup...

Open wide and scream 'No'.

A Bump To The Top is just saying that you think a post is great, and important....as if Muttly posted it...just for example.
This will happen to you a lot, as is evidenced by the poor, innocent little Muttly FOOTPRINT at the upper right corner of your screen. This may serve as a reminder that Muttly likes to be fed, petted, and run around with.
Some say that the footprint is for something else, but Muttly couldn't say, because the one time he clicked on it, something did happen, so he ran away.
Also, you may find it useful to lay in a large supply of tinfoil, cheese, moose, series, Hatt-Baby, and kibble...just in case somebody sets you up the bomb.
Muttly hopes he has been of service.

I was teasing. I was just going to kindly point out that such posts belong in CHAT.
The noob got a little snippy though.

I'm not allowed to really post on such a topic because I don't know how to do the pictures.

Whew! OK, I'm feeling better now. I don't know how it got posted to news/activism. I specifically posted it to misc. Weird. I suppose I'll get the hang of it eventually. Sorry for snapping--it's a visceral reaction I have to OSHA, the agency. I have to deal with them all the time and they tend to drive me NUTS!!!!!!

LOL! Shoot, according to the yesterday's zot-de-jour, I shouldn't even be at work. I should be home, barefoot and pregnant.
Hmmm. I don't know about the pregnant part, but the home barefoot in my jammies appeals to me.

Pajamas? Is today jammy day? The VRWC memo I got today from the bunker said to post wearing only an athletic supporter. Dang! I need to go change. Which is OK because my employees have been looking at me funny anyway. Todays attire...
