Question The Thread Hijack

When it comes to things you don't like (ie some things mentioned recently; sigs, polls, rewards, dumb threads, serious threads, not keeping a record, keeping to much of a record, etc)

Where does thread hijacking stand?

Do you mind it? Do you hate it? Does it depend on the forum section and the forum topic?

Does it keep you from posting?

Thoughts?

very true

most classic threads did not start out that way.

hijacking is alright as long as the people doing it are providing interesting conversation that can relate to the topic at hand and that isn't being disrespectful to the poster.
