Threadjacking is diverting a thread from its original purpose. It is usually unintentional, and I myself am a serial offender, although I'm far more attentive to the phenomenon than I was earlier on.

That said, I unintentionally threadjacked my own Golf Channel Instructor thread -- mea culpa! -- by including the original Pit Bull post there. I corrected that error after I saw what was happening and moved my 'offending' post (and all its followups) into its own well-deserved thread.

Since the earlier part of the original video contained material not relevant to my original purpose and had begun to spawn its own irrelevant (to the thread) comments, I deleted that portion (author's privilege!). The information explained and demonstrated in that segment deserves its own thread for discussion, and in fact has enjoyed that light in these pages. It was obvious that you were unaware of these existing threads, and that is why I directed you specifically to them. But, also why I included a request that further discussion of the material presented in that segment be conducted elsewhere.

Do not take these measures as censure. Far from it. I admire and applaud your quest for knowledge. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if an active poster hasn't threadjacked on numerous occasions, he's really not on his game! It's just best for all concerned if we keep information on specific subjects -- and particularly on the more important ones -- as concentrated as possible.
