What Anne said is correct, and is what the etiquette page refers to. Just to prevent future confusion, i'll add a little to it. We often do call it a hijack if you change the topic during a thread even if you don't change the subject. Usually it's a case of going off on a tangent. Sometimes people will realize it and add HIJACK to the subject line, but i've never seen a "ruling" on that. Like i said though, what Anne said is really the answer to your question. eric -- Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
