As promised . . . now, y’all can talk in here and DRY can flirt and conspire to overthrow Monty and myself as much as he likes. And OESGal can flirt back and whatever else y’all like. Just leave my thread alone!🙂 ---

iampunha, Hey, I’m sorry. I think I posted there once. I guess it was technically a hijack. Won’t happen again. I’ll just lurk…if that’s okay. struuter ---

Struuter, I’ve got no problem with the occasional aside remark. What I was getting annoyed by was DRY and ChrisP coming in and hijacking the thread like there was no tomorrow 🙂 CP, DRY, why don’t y’all start your own thread and see how easy it is to pick one person over another? Huh? BTW stuuter I’ve no problem with lurking. I did so myself for a while before posting. ---

Ummm…when did I hijack your thread? Proof dammit. I want Proof! And besides, no one hijacks a thread more than you. If that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black, I don’t know what is… 😛 ---

**Moderator’s Notes:** > [@](#): > > Just leave my thread alone. I just want to post a quick point of information here before anybody gets pissed off. There are **no** private threads on the SDMB. No one _owns_ any particular thread. Except the Chicago Reader, of course. They own all of them. You need to think of the topics here as a public conversation; anyone can butt in at anytime. If a thread heads down some tangent, that’s just the breaks. Attempting to discourage members from posting wherever they choose is bad form. ---

Sorry, ChrisP, I must be thinking about the bra thread. The hijacking in the Montfort thread is DRY, among others. And Frannie . . . and some others, but a lot of DRY. BTW, UncleBeer, sorry about sounding so serious. I was really joking . . . I had promised a few people they’d be on the second page, and because of a rather big hijack they didn’t get there (well, one did). I will try to make my humor/jokes more obvious in the future. ---

Gotcha. I saw your smiley (I hate the damned things, by the way) and was pretty certain this was light-hearted. I’m just trying to prevent any bad feelings or confusion. That’s why my post wasn’t addressed to anyone in particular; it was made as a point of general information. ---

I didn’t like the hijacking, but I sure didn’t complain Frannie. Now, we have to work on that Tribe thing. Right sport, wrong team. Come, let me show you the wonders of Philadelphia’s phinest… ---

Uh-huh, suuuuuuuuuuuure you did, Frannie. Anyway, we’ll work on the fundamentals of baseball first. This is a bat, and these are two balls. 😉 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-those-who-hijacked-my-thread/28020.md?page=2)
