I brought it up again specifically because there was no acknowledgement when Michael was first called on it.
And if accused in a mailing-list thread of dongle-flopping, many people would ignore that, too, not know what it means.
Since I started the first thread, I felt entitled to do so.
Very reasonably, I'd say.
No, it wasn't a crime, but the confusion it created, as I said before, is annoying.
Indeed.
I regret saying anything about it, as I seem to be at fault for doing so.
No, that's not the case. But saying "you hi-jacked my thread" to someone is just likely to be ignored if they don't know WTF you're on about. Anyone who does so is probably ignorant of what they've done and the problem it causes, so bitching about it will only help if you EXPLAIN.
