That's fine, but for years and years here on this forum, dumping pages and pages and pages of your pet articles into a thread has constituted a thread hijacking. That's what links and excerpts are for. It's not David Lane's thread to take over, like force-feeding a turkey to a canary. It's just courtesy.

Posting relevant information is a far cry from hijacking. What you refer to as "pet articles" are on point. If I were to break in and begin a discussion about what laundry detergent best removes axle grease from a poly-cotton blend, well, that would be hijacking. Again, if you want clarification, ask admin. They do more than just zot, after all.

BTW--

It's not David Lane's thread to take over...

That almost sounds as if you are implying that all responses should be directed to you alone. That is not how a discussion-based forum works best.
