I \*\* told you Cecil loves us. He wants to know all about us. Why else would he ask us to take the:  
“STRAIGHT DOPE USER SURVEY”  
So there, all you naysayers. 😉  
Peace,

_He wants to know all about us. Why else would he ask us to take the: “STRAIGHT DOPE USER SURVEY”_

Maybe I’m cynical, but my best guess is that they (or more precisely, Them) need more slaves for their salt mines. And why does the survey need to know whether we still have both kidneys?

Just curious what everyone else is putting in the last part for suggestions on how to improve the site. I asked for **Preview** for our posts. Maybe if a lot of people ask for it _there_, we’ll finally get it? Please, please, please. Everyone ask for **Preview** , k?

A bump is where you make a trivial post to a thread to “bump” it to the top of the active threads list.
