Bump keeps things active on the list of replys and article when you hit "browse." It acts as a reply, and so it stays on the list, and means more people are able to look at it.

WELCOME! I formally signed on last month after reading it for years....you'll love the lexicon. Like politics, FREEP ain't beanbag. But it is, without a doubt, the most stimulating site on the web. Glad I'm not the new kid on the block anymore! Enjoy it, because you will be a veteran soon enough. And loving every minute of it!

PS: My personal favorite is BTTT....back to the thread. You have NO IDEA what my mind conjured about that acronym until a kind soul who used it let me in.

Here's a helpful thread:

Fifth Edition of the Lexicon of FreeRepublic * * A helpful FR dictionary for newcomers * *

It hasn't been updated since 2002, though.

Welcome Aboard, Coastie!

Most everyone who's talked to you is right - there's lots of vets, and folks still in uniform, here at FR.Take your time, look around, ask, get answers, and have a ball!
