A little more about what a bump list is:

Bump lists are collections of articles of a given topic. To get a listing of such articles, you search the forum by putting to:"bump_list" in the search field. Replace bump_list with the name of the list you are interested in. Alternatively, visit the register and click a name.

When you find an article you believe may be of interest to a particular bump list, simply post a reply, adding the name of the bump list into the "To" field of the reply.

That article will now be indexed for your bump list.

John, I'm not sure if it's doable, but if anyone can co it, I know it's you (suck up!). Could the bump lists be customized so that people can register on a list. Then when the list is entered in the "To:" field everyone on the list is notified.

Example: I want to notify everyone who's interested in 2nd Amendment issues that there's new legislation being intiated. I type "bang_list" in the "To:" box. Everyone who has registerd to have their name added to the list will be notified.

Could this work similar to the "All" function?
