1) Ebay (Good Luck)
2) Buy/Sell/Trade forum here (But you're going to be in line)
3) Make me an absolutely can't refuse offer on mine. (Or on the DOT spinner I've got)

That's about all the help there is on this subject, so the hijacking isn't really THAT bad--nor that uncommon.
Oscar doesn't pop in as often as he used to, so he attracts attention when he does.
It's nothing against you personally, as you will see if you stay around long enough.
People just want to make sure they get heard by him, and posting in a thread they know he is watching is a way of ensuring that.

There have been more hijackings because of Oscar, RandyT, AndyWarne, or URebelScum showing up than just about any other reason.

I just wanted you to know that it wasn't a personal thing, and that it wasn't uncommon.

I don't mind threads being hijacked around here, provided that they are  informative, or entertaining (as shown...I hope...at least to ME, by my "Magic Ninja Spinner of Power" post).

They are much more strict around here about "what goes where", than I am on the three message boards I admin/moderate.
They have a bigger user base than I do, and are in a more "information based" environment, though.
I tend to let anything that isn't offensive, sensitive/confidential, or misleading, slide for the most part on my message boards.

That said, I am very quick to jump on misleading information here, to prevent it from propogating because "so-and-so said such-and-such".
That type of information, presented in a manner that is believable, can quickly overshadow FACT--mostly because people want to believe what they were inclined to believe from the start, regardless of the TRUTH.
