I'm new to this; please explain "bump".

[eureka!]

Everytime someone replies to a post, it moves the article up. "Bump" or "bttt (for bump to the top)" is a shorthand way of moving the article to the top of the "Latest Posts" section of FreeRepublic so that others can see the article. It kinda says-"good article, others will like to see this." Otherwise, welcome aboard and see you around....
