I am not well-versed in Internet etiquette.What exactly is "hijacking" a thread? How does one go about hijacking a thread? One effective first step might be to change every subject line to insure that my name appeared in it with no reference to the previous posts. It would make the original thread unrecognizable. Thanks for setting a good example.

Just because you can doesn't mean that you must. You are certainly in control of to whom, what, where, and why you post your words. Sometimes, it is considerate to take into account the feelings of another, particularly if they have made theirs known. You don't have to, I guess. However, some people might feel pressured or harassed.
