[ale] hijacked threads are bad etiquette

[Rich Faulkner]

Wow.  I don't get it.  When we meet it's all good but when we're online
it's a whole nuther story.  Go fig.  So much in common that we come here
(ALE) but so far apart that we cannot read beyond our own anger in
posted messages to and fro?

I for one applaud what you're doing!
