Normally, bumping a message/thread means replying to it.  You're leaving 
a NEW message with no context, no reply, and a different uninformative 
subject line.  And you're leaving it from googlegroups, with two copies.

If you want to sum things through a loop, initialize a variable to zero 
before the loop, then add to it each time through the loop.

total=0
for  whatever in something:
     total += whatever_expression

print total
