You could do what I do -- growl at 'em to quit hijacking my threads. I think the problem is that they really don't understand the difference between chatting and posting to a public forum. The best advice is probably to try to explain that if it is something directed to one other person, send a PM. If it is something you want to say to the person who did the thread but has nothing to do with the thread, send a PM. If it is something that pertains to the subject matter, respond in the thread but leave out the personal stuff.
