I understand 'bump,' but why rename to 'deleted' if you want to bring it to the top? Just curious...

bump

what does this mean?

The poster is making a worthless post (i.e. "bump" or "BTT") in a thread in order to keep it at the top of the page. The poster is thereby trying to personally organize the whole forum by keeping threads of interest to them at the top. It's a filthy habit, IMO. Thankfully not very common here on QJ.

BTW, I have absolutely no problem bringing an old thread back to life. Just have something interesting to add or ask. Otherwise, let the old threads die and allow active discussions to remain at the top. It's the circle of life in a forum.

Coppermine next year. Baillie/Back in '08. The trip report is in here a few pages down now. Lot of before trip posts, but the report is a few pages in too.

They made it! They arrived on the shores of the Artic Ocean, in Tukatoyaktuk, on August 21. The web site will be updated as time permits.
