Stupid Question
What does it mean when somebody makes a post that just says, bump? I see this every once in a while, but I have no idea what it means. :mad: :)
It means they are bumping the thread back up to the top of the forum list. This happens most often in the Classifieds section, where sellers keep their offerings from scrolling down to oblivion.

Thanks, Roger. :)
Scott-

Just for the record, this wasn't a stupid question. :confused:

It was simply something you didn't know... I didn't know once either. The answer happened to come to me at a moment of not-so-coherent thought. It's cool... :p

Thanks, Aaron. I probably shouldn't have given my post such a title. I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from asking questions, however simple or obvious they may seem. :)

What is it about us that makes us feel that we need to ask questions in such a deprecatory manner? How often do you see or hear a question prefaced by:

I don't want to seem like an idiot, but......

This might sound stupid, but.....

etc.

Anyway, point taken. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

Thanks again,

Scott :)

It's the best way I know to get answers... even if it's "I don't know either." :p
There are no stupid questions only stupid or wrong answers ;) :p :lol:
Hmmm, I thought it went "There are no stupid questions, just stupid people that ask questions!" :p :lol: ;)
(For the life of me, I can't remember what movie I saw that in...is the "old-timer's" already setting in?!?)
Believe me there are indeed stupid questions. :D

Too true.

"Are we there yet?"

"Ok... um, why?"

"Honey, does this dress make me look fat?"

"Baby, can I go out with the boys tonight?"

"Are we there yet?"

"Officer, can't we discuss this over a beer? How's 'bout a joint? You toke, don't you?"

"Why did God make sunflowers?"

"Don't you have enough shoes?"

and, finally...

"Are we there yet?"
Aaron: Just proves I was right about stupid answers ! MINE I mean, as you just proved with your list that there can be stupid question. :blush: :eek: :lol:
