Maybe we ranted about this before but I do not understand why people hijack threads. OK I can see it happening when someone starts a thread and you have a similar problem and kind of jump in and steal the conversation. We have probably all been guilty of that once in a while.
I am talking about when someone adds a question to the thread that has nothing to do with the thread at all. We just had another one recently that Bertus had to flag.
It is almost like people have never seen a forum before and have no concept of the meaning of a thread. I just can't figure it out. Even if you have never seen a forum, mailing list or news group before, spending just a few minutes in the forum should make you realize that the conversations are broken down into a related subject mater.
What are they thinking?
It is the same with subject lines themselves. For those that do start their own thread they will pick a subject line like "Help me". I just don't understand it.
