The problem with pointing it out privately is that that doesn't |
| 10 |
educate anyone else - thus it's more work to point it out privately |
| 11 |
to the next person, and the next, and one has to continue suffering |
| 12 |
hijacked threads in the meantime. |

I think this thread appears "overkill" because I used ALL-CAPS in the |
| 15 |
subject, which has propagated to the replies. I won't do that again |
| 16 |
in the future, and apologise if this has led some of you to believe I |
| 17 |
was having a go at the original hjacker. I was perhaps terse in my |
| 18 |
request, but did not intend to be rude. |
