““[T]hough not named as a party in the original action, a person may subsequently *** become bound by the foregoing proceedings as if initially served. [Citations.] Although the court participation may come in many forms, suffice to say that any action taken by the litigant which recognizes the case as in court will amount to a general appearance unless such action was for the sole purpose of objecting to the jurisdiction.” Lord, 12 Ill. 2d at 87 .”
