What is "Thread Hijacking"?
What are the does and don'ts of thread posting?

Since this could actually be a decent thread for newer members, I will see if I can bring it back to the questions at hand.
First, thread hijacking or just thread jacking, is steering a thread in another direction away from the original topic, either intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes that is ok, like in cases where the original questions have fizzled out and another semi-related question is posed and another discussion ensues.
As far as what to do and not to do, I should say good spelling is a key. It doesn't have to be perfect, but at least fairly ok. Don't talk smack like some people have been known to do, 'verbally' assaulting other people in the threads. Try to keep the threads on topic and don't 'jack' them. I guess other things could come to mind, but don't at the moment.
