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. -- Arun Khan ___ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe " in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

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. -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/ ___ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe " in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
