Guest guest Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I definitely hope you will keep posting, Rose. Remember that you can't possibly please everyone and the best you can do is be yourself. You have good information to share, so keep it up. You're inspiring. :-) Rachel From: bubersrubyDate: Tue, 9 Oct 2007 11:04:19 +1100RE: Re: two days fasting each week Rachel, I am touched by your feedback....so supportive and insightful It is exactly the reassurance I needed to keep posting and putting my thoughts out there, so thank you!

I just wanted to comment on this portion of your post at this point. I think your post is fine, but I would also agree that it is good to provide resources when you have them because it helps people do their own research. In my opinion, it is essential that each person do research and even to investigate opposing views, too. So although it isn't necessary to document every statement, it is helpful if you can share resources. So it's not really a matter of "proving" your statements, but rather sharing helpful resources when possible so that others can do their own research. As for including "I believe" or "from what I have read", it isn't necessary, but could be helpful at times, because I think a lot of people are more receptive to information that is presented that way. That's entirely up to you, though. I would encourage you to just be yourself. I appreciate your post and encourage you to continue posting!
