Default Hijacked

I clicked on a thread "cordless drill not working" and got a lot of
mindless drivel about social issues and smoking vs. non-smoking. I
wonder if anyone here ever heard of Netiquette, and more precisely,
"Hijacking a thread". It's a shame some people have to waste their time
scrolling through numerous useless messages, trying to get some help.
Just vetting. Thanks for listening.

If you read the subject line, it clearly shows that part of the thread
that continues on about smoking. You don't have to waste your time
reading anything, or waste space with YOUR useless message.
