Hijacking happens. I've had stellar examples in the distant past of hijacking threads, now if I have to interject on a thread to correct vague or erroneous information I keep it short.

When I find it troubling is on new members threads when they are introducing themselves to OCF. The way I see it, how we behave and respond on those threads is their first impression of these forums and it's members. That's our opportunity to focus on them and their issues and concerns and not to branch into long drawn out debates, it's not the place for it. PM's or starting new posts are the way to go about different points of view.

Funny though I don't find changing subjects on an old timers thread very troubling as most of us will have no issues bringing it back to where we need it to be for our subject. Most newcomers won't feel that comfortable with everyone yet and may wonder why they've come to these forums for support.

I like the name hijack though, it sounds cool
