Okay, I have a serious question here.
A THREAD HIJACKER is what? My best guess - someone who steers the thread off-topic.
So a THREAD KILLER is ~? Someone whose username you'll usually see as the last person who posted on a thread, right?
If you're a thread killer is that mostly because the thread has been talked-out, picked apart and ended - you are the lucky one who had the last post? Or is it that when other users hop on and see you get involved in a thread they groan and try to ignore you? Like, "Oh boy, that guy is a big PIA. Why don't we continue this conversation somewhere else?"
Just wondering because I see a lot of that happen... usually some pesty user wears out the welcome too quick and gets a tomato thrown at him for one reason or other. Others, well, maybe they get on a topic too late to offer much input.
