Becky, What is trying to be conveyed is a procedure in off topic posting. Off topic posts are not banned. When posting a non costume related topic it is appropriate to place in the subject heading "OT" for off topic posts (even the old timers forget this once in a while). Then in the post, a simple explanation of what is going on, example: "I have this class in .... and I need input and I don't have access to many people so I was hoping some here would be kind enough to help me with this" and then post the questions. An explanation helps us determine whether we are looking at SPAM or an actual request from a member. When I read your post/questionnaire I thought it was SPAM so I immediately deleted it. Hope this explains that we are not saying you should not have posted the OT, just that you needed a little more to help us identify what we were reading.
