When I read the Cellar, I use the "new post" feature. It automatically brings up all the threads with new posts. Obviously, I can't speak for everyone, but I've heard a lot of people mention that it's how they read the Cellar too.

Before the AGers came, I don't ever recall seeing a "bump" post to make a thread rise to the top here at the Cellar. It just isn't needed. I guess that it was helpful over at AG, but it's not needed here. It's a perfect example of a post that is of no value.

Flint, you can take this one.

Thanks Steve.

@glatt: Don't post and it goes away. Democracy. The end.

SteveBsjb 04-05-2006 10:07 AM

And who's to judge "value"? That's all I want to know.

Yeah, but until then, I have to read your empty "bump" post to make it go away. You are creating more work for me.

I would be interested in hearing a non-narcissistic argument in favor of bump posting. And...if we don't post, the thread drops down to nothingness, and that comprises democracy, then isn't bump posting to artificially elevate a post the equivalent of stuffing the ballot box?

Also, no one is on my Ignore List, either. Note the way I added content to the original intent of the thread, *and* stayed on topic by making this statement. :D

Yes, but if other people post in your thread, and you respond to them, that is a valid exchange, isn't it? If not, explain how you can tell the difference btween "good" posting and "bad" posting.
