Thread-jacking or Subject-jacking yep, it is an incredibly rude obliviousness to others that people should hijack threads and continue to drive on without adjusting the subject line. Another symptom of bad upbringing and the decay of ethical virtue in the world. -Buck

However, Buck, you sound as rigid as the TM teachers who drove the good people out of the movement. These people made themselves self appointed gestapo. Such behavior suggests that they were lifetimes away from enlightenment. Those who were already experiencing enlightenment paid them as little regard as they would a fly. Om The Desecration of the Subject Heading: It is a large discourtesy when some folks hijack a substantial thread into other directions without taking the time to 're-subject' the heading that we all come to find on the web page or in our mailboxes. This should be a serious FFL guideline and people should even be thrown off FFL for violating this. Three-strike the chronic violators. -Buck Yes these hijackings are seriously bad form. -Buck noozguru writes: It's called "thread hijacking" or "topic hijacking" and considered bad netiquette and usually product of a net noob. Turq even defended it once but he doesn't seem to do it anymore. Apparently Yahoo is sending emails as "restricted" groups with the sender being just the group email so you can't tell from email who is responding to a thread. FFL isn't a restricted group but can be read by anyone and posted to by members. I recently mentioned I canceled my spring teeth cleaning after I read most people really only need a cleaning once a year. I try to keep my teeth up and some of the dental suggestions are overkill for most people. Dentistry has become "very commercial." Do I really need a "whiting" which is just a way to charge you more for the cleaning? Similarly most of the medical community is treating one group: those with metabolic syndrome. Hence medicine is about high blood pressure, hyperthyroid, diabetes, heart disease. I have low blood pressure which is the opposite problem. Ahem, Re-title-ing, the subject line your contributions here. You guys jumped the thread of a perfectly good subject line again to something other. As a communal courtesy to others would you people please change the subject line when you hijack a thread. Change the subject line accordingly. That would be helpful to others of the FFL community looking in.
