    Default Apology.. :(

    I just wantd to apologize for how much I thread-jack. I do it in real life, too and it's one of my biggest faults in myself.

    I keep trying to show I understand someone's feeling by relating with my own story... and it ends up being about me (of course, because that's what I did) when I really meant to just say 'hey yeah, I understand'... but I end up telling a story about how xxx happened to me... which is to say I've been through it, I understand...

    So I wanted to apologize to everyone I thread-jacked. I really really don't mean to change the topic, I just mean to relate to the OP.

    I'll be more careful from now on.

    (As I know it's been upsetting some people)

    i don't think adding anecdotes pertinent to the discussion is "threadjacking". it's adding your experiences and perspective to the topic at hand. everyone's got their own unique experiences to add imo.

    on a side note, my job's been a real pita lately. i need a vacation from my recent vacation. *sigh*


    now that's a threadjack.

    Oh great I'm out of the loop again. Truly hadn't noticed, LM. I thought that's the way conversations go, this way and that way; touching on the OP and then going over there, then here in a big ol' pretzel.

    No matter what you do, you know I love ya, my fellow Izzard fan.

    I notice I do it all the time... and a couple people called me on it... so I thought I'd apolize publicly... if you didn't notice then that's good for me.

    It has never bothered me. I never thought you were worse than anyone else, myself included. You're a legitimate contributing member of the community, part of the fam, don't be so hard on yourself.

    so anything short of a tour of iraq is an improvement.

    I think you've succeeded in threadjacking your own thread!!!

    Can you do that?

    Well I've never noticed you threadjacking, but then again, something that trivial wouldn't matter to me anyway so I probably wouldn't notice it even if you did threadjack all the time. My point is, an apology to everyone is always nice, but there are bigger problems to worry about...like your boobs & your marriage & finding a place, etc. So don't sweat the small stuff

    I actually enjoy your interjections, and it's normal for threads to veer slightly off topic at times.
