Bumped, or bumped off?

I was going through my files a few minutes ago and found three short stories that had been accepted (contracts signed and returned) and tentatively scheduled for publication in 2005. Stories get bumped to subsequent issues for all kinds of reasons, but I can't recall ever having any stories bumped more than a few months. So, were they bumped, or bumped off?

I just e-mailed the editor to find out...

Any word on these?

Not yet. But I did hear of another writer in a similar situation with the same editor. Her story was bumped a full year.

a full year? Wow.

Also saw your reply on the Christmas markets deal and instead of driving you nuts with more comments everywhere, I will just say thank you here.
