Anthony,

Would you characterize the architecture at  Victoria National as penal?

Who cares what Anthony thinks about that, Mike!  The real question is why did clubs blackball Bill Clinton?

One of the big does is to use a spell checker.

Anthony,

I think you have just been hijacked (multiple times).

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.

Not sure. Would you consider the architecture in the Victoria Secret's catalogue strategic?

I'm still laughing, JES. Which reminds me, I think I twisted my knee yesterday.

Anthony - I used to wonder/worry about that, but I don't anymore. Two reasons: one, I rarely see anyone intentionally jacking a thread -- it's just discussions that evolve as something or other strikes someone or other in one way or another; and two, those discussions are 'self-regulating', i.e. if the thread is interesting enough to enough people, it will stay on track no matter how many jacks/sidebars, but if it is losing steam and enough posters want to change its course, the course changes.

The thing I never could figure out about so-called thread jacking is, doesn't the original poster have to somehow "own" it for this to be possible?

Whose thread is it anyway?

And welcome to another meta thread!  I guess Mike Sweeney is right, the GCA Double Standard is alive and well.  Alas, I voted in that course poll, so I earned a sticker, too.
