I am sick and tired of people on forums who post -then post to answer their own post--then bump their own post--then post on that post some more....seriously no one gave a shit at post #1 so no one cares when you post 9 more times on the same thread.

I disagree. Threads get lost, people miss them the first time, sometimes the person posing a question finds the answer elsewhere and wants to share, other people read them but really don't have anything to say and they don't want to be one of those "Ha-ha! Yes!" posters.

There are a lot of threads I'm glad the authors bumped up cuz I missed them the first time.

Sure, sometimes there are no comments cuz people really do think some amateur's recipe for a "Big Island Thunder Punch" made with Cool Whip, Kahlua, dark rum, coconut rum, and Coca-Cola* sounds disgusting.

But a lot of times there's just nothing to add. Does everyone who reads a newspaper write letters to the editor? No, most of them complain about the paper to their coworkers or their drinking buddies.

And that's why I say "Bump away!"

THE END

*I completely made this up, if it's similar to an actual drink I did not mean to suggest that someone who thought it up must have no sense of what goes into a good drink or has a rare disease which makes really horrid things taste yummy. That said, here's the recipe:

Big Island Thunder Punch

3 cups of Cool Whip
1/2 cup Kahlua
1 cup of dark rum
1 cup of coconut flavored rum
20 oz of Coca-Cola
Ice

Put the Cool Whip, Kahlua, dark rum, and coconut rum in a punch bowl or pitcher. Use a wire whisk and mix until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the Coca-Cola, carefully stirring with the whisk to blend. Add ice and serve.
