Re: friendly Moderator's reminder about hijacked threads
Rob, if you do what you describe, that is hijacking a thread. The reason it's caught is due to the thread header which is placed in replied messages. Please see the following links if you are interested in knowing more about hijacked threads. In short, it's a no-no when it comes to email etiquette. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=thread%20hijacking http://wiki.openstack.org/MailingListEtiquette -- Raul A.
