I started a thread in CC this morning re: Amazon "Alexa" eavesdropping and privacy concerns, and how to protect yourself. Even though that could have been considered an Electronics topic, l felt that more people go to CC.

@handygal2 and I'm glad you did because I wouldn't have seen it in Electronics because I very seldom look there. Mostly because I don't understand electronics so that forum scares me. LOL

What bothers me more than posting in the wrong forum is when people hijack a thread and take it completely in another direction.

I realize some threads have an ebb and flow to the conversation, but to completely take it in another direction is rude.
Just curious...Why does it bother you? What about it bothers you?

Sometimes it just seems to be the normal flow of the thread to me!

I'm not talking about the normal flow of a thread.

I'm talking about an obvious hijack that completely takes the thread off topic. If someone starts a thread and then 2 or 3 people start talking about something competely different, their health issues, the weather, another completely different subject, that is rude to the person that started the thread.

It doesn't bother me enough to ruin my day. LOL

Pretty much like this conversation. Just kidding so don't get mad, but I've done it @Bri63.

Sometimes I've done it to "calm down" a discussion that was getting heated.

@Preds: I couldn't have said it better myself!
