How is that hijacking? It doesn't stop you talking about everything you want to talk about while allowing others to discuss something quite different if they so desire. If enough people care about what both people are talking about, two or more conversations can happily co-exist within one thread. You seem to see such tangents as being somehow intrusive, while your apparent desire to maintain one-track conversations comes across as oddly exclusive.
