Borrowed from another Forum that I frequent:
"I'll start with us off with my Top 7 Secrets to Better Hijacking...
1. Try to insert yourself surreptitiously into the flow of the existing thread before hijacking. Go with the flow.
2. Look for a related topic that will shift attention, but don't make it too obvious.
3. If you get a reply, reply right back with either a question that will elicit more replies, or make a statement that takes the readers off balance, thereby getting a response unrelated to the original thread.
4. Always be prepared to reply right back, thereby carrying the momentum completely away from the original poster's intent.
5. If you wanta be really cool, try to pull this trick several times within the same thread, so that it becomes virtually unrecognizable to the original poster. If you are truly successful, the original poster will actually try to start a new thread!
6. Never go for the jugular on the first post. Always be ready to parry, then thrust.
7. Simple, innocuous questions are great for setting up the gambit.
I'll leave it here and wait for the Big Dogs to get on the hijacking porch. I'll add to this list as more great suggestions come in."
Sound a little familiar???
Cheers!
