Carolyn, I don't think Janice meant to say that you were violating any rule by posting a message here before you've posted 15 critiques. My understanding is that you may not post a poem of your own in one of the crit forums until you've paid your dues in that fashion, but you're free to chime in here and in the other chat, discussion, and good-time forums. Janice was simply saying (I think) that your posts here don't count toward the 15-crit score that you have to rack up before you can start workshopping your poems.
Forgive me, Janice, if I've misconstrued your meaning. And some moderator please weigh in with a correction if I've misstated the posting rules.
