 This has been discussed here before, but I came up with a new (to me)
 twist.
 
 Hijacking a thread is when a list member wants to start a new thread,
 but instead of making a new mail, s/he reads a newbie mail and hits
 reply, erases the subject line and writes a new subject.
 
 This has always annoyed me since I like my MUA to display list mail in
 threads. But a real danger for folks who hijack is that their posts
 might get ignored or deleted. (I always delete hijacked posts on general
 principles.) Currently I use my mail's delete thread function to delete
 topics that don't concern me. If a lister hijacks one of those threads,
 then they are decreasing the number of eyes that might read that mail and
 amount of brains that might answer a question. That's because that mail
 gets counted as part of the thread, even though it's a totally different
 topic.
 

It's called netiquette, and its all outlined in RFC1855.  You can find a
copy here http://radom.org/lostfound.php?id=117

 Dear all,
 I use to open 2 consoles in each virtual desktop. I notice that each console 
 keeps its own bash history, so, I'm confused... where are those bash_history 
 files kept? I look in my /home/user directory, there is only 1 bash_history 
 file. It's a bit difficult to check what I have typed if I forget in which 
 console I typed it.

AFIAK nothing is written to .bash_history / $HISTFILE until you exit
bash.
