I personally think that the "R" status was underused by previous moderators on this forum, and where this of course would be graded from one to three depending on what we think is a message that bears special attention.
Although Raine13's post may have been O/T she did state this in the introductory sentence of her post, and where I felt that most of the information contained within it deserved the attention of everyone. If you go through the post in detail it does smack of commonsense and a psychological/spiritual perspective of releasing these types of pressures and stresses and what someone here erroneously referred to as "new age" thinking.
I also think it can be refreshing and enlightening from the average post which usually only has a relevance to the physical aspects of the Water Fast and which also tended towards the spiritual side, which is indeed relevant to our forum.
