Stylistically, it is most correct to use a triple-point ellipsis (. . .) to in the standard for, or a quadruple-point ellipsis (. . . .) when ending a sentence. In general, most style guides also indicate it good to put a space between all periods in an ellipsis. When using an ellipsis to mark an omission, it is also encouraged (though not required) that they be enclosed in square brackets (for example, "This was [. . .] not necessary") for the sake of clarity.

In all seriousness, saying you bump means that you post in rather old threads unnecessarily, thereby "bumping" them to the top of the thread list. It's generally frowned upon, because it makes it somewhat more troublesome to sift through to more recent (and in most cases therefore more useful) threads.

Kawa, Marzen, you should know better than to post in threads that are about to be closed. Heh. Just let him reply, then I'll close it.
