when you start a conversation not relevant to the topic

You are the last to post on a thread and no one else comments after you.

Then you've "killed the thread".

No, that is hijacking a thread.

makes sense, thanks!!

I do this on all sorts of other boards but here I'm not as good a thread killer.

I feel like I am usually a thread killer. It seems I post and then wonder what happened to the responses. I jinxed it!!

Ha! You're not alone....I've killed many threads too...and this one will probably be on my list, too!

Just don't try to kill that thread killers thread - it has a life of it's own - and a lot of guards.

Probably because we all talk so much and can't let anyone have the last word on anything...




















Which, of course, explains the reason I felt compelled to post anything on this site after the initial question had been answered!

LOL! More guards than anything I've ever seen!!

 

[BethCooks4U]

I KNOW! And I can't make the rest of them forget about the thread!








...just when I think it's breathed it's last breath one of them shows up!

I feel better now knowing I'm not alone out there

Did I hear right, did they lose last night? Headlines said, "Brewers see red after game" but I didn't hear the story.

Speaking of stories...KG did you see the 7/9 article in the MKE Journal Sentinel about the MSOE art museum???? It sounds like it will be great!

Did the Reds actually beat someone?? Woo Hoo! Oh wait, is that the game where one of the Reds was hit in the jaw with a pitch and had to be carted off the field with blood coming from his mouth? I was a clip of the pitch... OUCH!!!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

See how threads get hijacked around here?

 

[katie0128]

Talking about the Reds wasn't the purpose of this thread???

 

[janetupnorth]

Yeah, just looked it up - lost (Brewers) by 1 in the 10th inning.

 

[BethCooks4U]

Ohhh... good thing my son is distracted by his new daughter. He hates it when the Brewers (or Packers) lose. He (and his 2 year old son) are obsessed with the game(s).

 

[cathyskitchen]

Wow! This thread got hijacked and almost killed in one day! How about that!? Us CSers are good. Think I'll try and kill this one, as I've been pretty good at that lately (I guess I need to start trying to kill that Thread Killers thread, huh?).

 

[chefkristin]

No, that is hijacking a thread.

Oh right! LOL! I do know what I am talking about most of the time. Really! Now lets see if I kill this thread.

 

[janetupnorth]

Great - the start of another neverending thread killers thread...
