Janice, I agree that "it is a good idea for all of us to stay updated on the guidelines," and that's why I cited the clear guidelines to point out that the 15-post requirement only applies to starting threads, not to participating in a thread someone else started. You say you "understand how I am thinking," but if you are suggesting that the guidelines can be read in a way other than what I have said, I do not understand how you are thinking. The guidelines are clear, and I would suggest that you owe Erik an apology for misreading the guidelines and then chastising him in public based on that misreading. (Once again ignoring the other guideline that says these matters should be handled privately, where possible, and not in the thread itself).
Again, I'm very happy Erik has joined us. His poem is slight, as befits D&A, but shows that he's certainly not a beginner. I'm guessing he has a lot to contribute.
