I also don't find hijacked threads annoying, most of the time, but it depends on where it is and who it's done to. I consider the general forums open season and off-topic randomlands, but the trade and help forums are generally more serious. There have been situations when threads in the trade forum are hijacked immediately (as in, before any other posts are made). Now, when it's a forum regular being hijacked by another forum regular (i.e. Dingus offering his services in payment), fine, but I have seen people who basically never post try to sell stuff, get hijacked, and disappear never to post in forums again.
