seems more rude if you start a conversation with another board member, and that conversation doesn't seem to be open to the person who started the
thread. For instance, say that a person starts a thread about hotels in Baja, then two members start posting back and forth on the thread about
something that is interesting only to them such as perhaps what foot fungus medication they used while they were in college together. That to me is
hijacking of the worst sort. But what about a thread such as the one about the Jesus statue that just seems to naturally morph from conversation to
conversation much like a campfire conversation would? You don't just keep on talking about the same thing until it is completely resolved. Perhaps we
could have varying levels of hijacking with corresponding justifications of scorn.

This is great Packo, I can relate!
Now, let me post some photos that (older) Nomads have seen dozens of times before, tell you how close the El Camino Real is to where you are, talk
about when I was there as a kid, yadda, yadda, yadda...
