hijacking is pretty much what happens to posts where the subject is 
changed from other topics post. The message will be posted within a 
thread that the message you used was topic changed. You can look through 
the archives available at the link for all messages to see the effects.

Since your message will be in the thread that the message was Hijacked, 
I would say that the message "got on the wrong bus" and is posted in the 
foreign thread.
