What does ping mean? What does IMHO mean? What does bump mean?

really curious

[mrsmith]

IMHO is the International standard for measuring the ease with which a current is passed through a conductor.

It's the reverse of the IOHM.

ping and bump are basically the same thing. Ping is when someone wants you to see a thread they think you'll find interesting. Bump also pings, but temporarily bumps the thread to the top of the latest posts page too.

IMHO = In My Humble Opinion

hth. ;)

Ping is a notice that the referenced thread might be of interest. Think sonar.

Here is a link explaining the origin of the Ping Program in UNIX.
