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.
