I'd prefer that you shut up and quit hijacking threads on this newsgroup

But "Mixi baiting" is one of the primary sports on this newsgroup,
hadn't you noticed? If he stopped making his "irrelevant" comments,
it would take away half the fun! (Besides, they usually START OUT "on
topic" - its just that threads on all newsgroups tend to mutate, the
longer they continue.) If it bothers you, just ignore any thread,
once you realize it's no longer on topic. (Of course, you may miss
some enjoyable irrelevancies that way, also, but it's your choice.)


And almost no one changes the subject line.


Mainly because they assume (as do I) that people following
the discussion may not follow the change of suject title.



The title is merely a label for the thread, and serves little other
purpose. Even when looking up old posts with Google, you don't need to
specify the subject.



Then folks shouldn't complain about hijacking of threads.

People can always find something to complain about.

trouble is, you have to anticipate the change is a major one or
you just get lots of one post threads. You also have to get in
right at the start or you just have a duplicate thread. Also many
who download selectively never pick up the new thread.
