Recently I was going to post something, so in order to please the day posters, I bumped the previously posted post about 6 times, another poster helped with about 2 bumps and we couldn't even get near the top.

Oh dear. [scratches head]

One 'bump to the top' bumps it to the top. Copy/pasting an old post just to repost it does not make it more visible in the lastest posts than simply bumping the old thread does. It is not a cumulative process... When a lot of people are posting, it doesn't stay 'at the top' long.

Use the search function if you see an article and don't know if it has been posted yet. Use the exact title when searching and posting... If it has been posted, don't post a duplicate, is what I think JimRob is saying here....

Thanks, Hair, I'll use 'bumb to the top' from now on.
