Sure... and from my own perspective as a user, I didn't even realise
what float did until now, and was surprised that "bury" would mean that.
The metaphor is a stack, not a pool or a sandpit. I don't think those
terms really assist in understanding, however cute they are.
I find that bury is more natural than float (thinking of a stack of
documents on a desk ...). But then I don't use stg ...
You demonstrate my point :) by apparently missing that "bury" and
"float" are supposed to be the *opposite* of each other.
I didn't mean to give that impression. I was aware that they were
opposites, but was only commenting on my view of the intuitivness of each.
I can't really think of a single metaphor where float and bury are both
appropriate though.
