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.

Sir,

The above mentioned thread was not Hijacked. Closer attention
demonstrates that the OP found his solution to the drill problem and
posted back in the thread.

After that! It is "Katie bar the door".
