The Elian flame wars may have been pretty hot, but there was no topic like Terri Schiavo to generate thread hijackings IMHO. The "H-score" averaged 2 to 5 for EVERY thread on FR for a couple of months.

I remember well... this concept was hatched back then, as those of us sick of "All Terri, all the time" hid out on another thread and pointed out "T-scores" ("T" for Terri) on other threads.

I actually remember a "1", where the original poster somehow managed to link a completely unrelated article to the whole situation.

oh Terri Schiavo was white hot on the hijack scale, but i am partial to the olden days of FR ; )

In late 1999, nearly anything could be turned into a Y2K issue.

I had a couple people follow me from thread to thread just to roast me on my Elian views. Now that is scary!
