Actually Dirk wasn't talking to you at all, he was talking to the person |
41 |
that did indeed hijack the thread (titled "Mailing Lists") by replying |
42 |
to it with an unrelated email (titled "Gentoo as a production server - |
43 |

44 |
does make threads very difficult to manage. |

Dirk replied to the original hijacking email, and not to you. |
