Rezzing…

Are we getting far too heavy-handed with all the hijacking notes? Such as here:

[https://boards.straightdope.com/t/harris-vp-choice-as-she-is-the-official-presidential-nominee-of-the-democratic-party-for-2024/1004552/1128](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/harris-vp-choice-as-she-is-the-official-presidential-nominee-of-the-democratic-party-for-2024/1004552/1128)

> [@Harris VP choice as she is the official presidential nominee of the Democratic Party for 2024](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/harris-vp-choice-as-she-is-the-official-presidential-nominee-of-the-democratic-party-for-2024/1004552/1129):
>

How the blue blazes is that off-topic? Since that may very well figure into the calculus of who Harris chooses, as well as how the candidates’ choices there reflect their ambitions and thus chances of being selected, I don’t see how this is remotely off-topic, at all.
