bump....

In a board like this, adding to a thread makes it rise to the top. If a thread seems to be ignored and you'd like to bring it back to the attention of others you add a post of 'nothing' ... sometimes just the word BUMP

Which bumps the thread back to the top.....

"Feeler" means the poster wants to gauge interest in a particular thing. Usually to see if there are any potential buyers for something the poster is contemplating offering for sale.

As opposed to a "feely" wherein the poster lets you know what they really feel about a particular subject. And as a group, we are not shy about letting everyone know. Gotta love it.
