Sis,
You worry too much. Here we are in this board three environment posting away , in a way ; working and while we're at the business of writing lyrics , making friends , it's only natural to share some of the things that go on in our lives and that are important to us. I don't think anyone is going to be horrified if you crit something , thinking that was what the poster wanted. Because we're here and posting away , making friends and all and even knowing that there is a board with the specific purpose of sharing news , it might be that the poster didn't feel obligated to share that particular bit of news with the entire organization , or , that the entire org. may not be particularly interested in that news. When someone posts a post that is of a personal nature I have quite often seen people post a comment that sounds like "hey , that's personal and I make it a habbit not to comment on such things , btw , that's a bummer , sorry to hear." To which the poster can say , it's okay go ahead and post , or not , btw thanks...
That "needless " discussion needn't have gone on , but ; it's an act of consideration that seems to be rampant around here . Why anyone would consider any such "sharing" as a waste of time and not serious is wholly beyond me.
I'm not saying that you're having posted like you did was a nono , it wouldn't have hurt for the orig. poster to have seen your plight and said "don't sweat it lil' sis " but, if they didn't ; it could be that you were not in such a big "jamb" as you percieved.
Blessings,
bbh,

Here we are wracking our brains today
to write lyrics that rhyme
and if we succeed, they'll end up in time
as tommorrow's cliche's...
