Having recognized myself as being among the guilty in a recent post on hijacking a thread, and realizing that, as an "old poster", I really should have known better, my first thought was to apologize for doing so (because I am very sorry), but that would have constituted further hijacking of the original thread. So I decided I needed a review or maybe a good definition of "hijacking" that would help me remember not to do it anymore. I did not see it under the "New Posters Read this First" link nor in the "FAQ's" so I hope someone can correct me or improve on my own simplified interpretation of what "hijacking is": Hijacking is when someone posts a comment on a thread which does not relate to the original subject of the thread, thereby taking attention away from the original concern expressed by the original poster. Hijacking can be very easy to do if the subject of the post reminds you of a similar concern in your own experience that you need information on or want help in calming your own fears. Also, starting a new topic will make it easier for others to address the concerns expressed and give them the full attention they deserve. Howzzat?
