Before this thread will be closed, i would like to add that i recognize the concerns Diane has.
For me it is one of the reasons, not to post "valuable clues or information (in general!)" here or anywhere, because in the digital world it is so easy to just copy and paste the information and make it your own. I think it is wise to collect your information, store it privately, and one day do something useful with it, such as writing and publishing a book.
Just writing something on you blog, or here on the forum, does not provide you with clear rights on your theory or discovery.
Why not? Because anyone can easily change that information, by editing, or even removal of that post.
Citing a blog with a date does not provide accurate info as well, taking a snapshot would. Also the waybackmachine could help, although it is not reliable, because it also is a third party source.
