Am talking about the hijacking that happens when nettiquette
admonishments hijack a thread for no fault of the OP.
What is the difference? It does not matter what the subject matter of
the hijacker is, be it be "netiquette admonishments" or a technical
query, or whatever. S/he has hijacked the original thread/discussion
with an unrelated subject matter.
please distinguish between 1. 'message recycling' (or thread
hijacking) where the person starts a new subject on the old thread -
this is usually because the person is too lazy to create a new
message and just presses reply, changes subject line and carries on,
and 2. thread forking which happens very often because several issues
(uncluding netiquette issues) arise from a post.
