Re: Thread hijacking


Thread hijacking is frowned upon, and so is publicly commenting on thread
hijacking.

The same can be said about the following activities:


--snip--
* direct replies (not to list)


They are all violations against the letter or the spirit of the mailing
list etiquette, but the users that do those things are usually new users
that aren't even aware that there is such a thing as an etiquette.

Where, may I ask, does it say that private/direct replies are violations
of the letter or spirit of mailing list etiquette?


It is a violation of mailing list etiquette to post other's
private/direct replies to you to the mailing list but private/direct
replies in themselves are rarely violations of any mailing list etiquette.
