Don't worry about it, washingtonwriter. We've all done it. You should see some of the tangets we've taken on a hijacked thread. Read through a few of the exceptionally long ones and you'll realize that it's not you. It's all of us. The whole writer's conference/meet-n-greet we're planning in the procrastination forum came about from a hijacked thread.
And about seeing your name everywhere? There's nothing wrong with that! I can't speak for everyone but personally, I can feel your enthusiasm about the forums and writing in general and I think it's wonderful. We're super lax around here and don't have strict rules of etiquette like that. You're among friends and other "OMG SPARKLY I WANT THIS THREAD & I'LL REPLY TO EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE" writers. So please, carry on asking questions and commenting here and there and everywhere. We like it.

(There's a reason some of us have 500, 800, 1000+ posts on here, after all!)
In other words, take off your shoes, have a cookie, and welcome home to the Bransforums!!
