Bears don't get mentioned as often as they might.

I don't think that would be hijacking! Personally I prefer a lengthy thread on related subjects (polar bears, grizzly bears, black bears &c) to lots of short threads which can slip below the radar ..... Hijack my mails whenever you want
Can't complain about your reaction to your visitor - must have been a tremendous experience.
