The Aaron said: You could argue that it adds the new flag, which people sometimes go looking for, and works as a bump of sorts... :) It would only add a new New flag for people who have previously read the original post. Everyone else already has a New flag appearing on it. The problem with adding a new New flag for people who have previously read the original post is, those people have already read the original post, so adding a new New flag doesn't really add anything new to read for them. A bump that contains new thoughts, points, or information, would be useful, in comparison.
