But they are a start - and a first, easy step is all I was suggesting, since Searcher seems not to have done it.

Notwithstanding that, it may be a little heavy handed to demand rigorous standards of academic professionalism from people posting on their personal blogs.
But we should always remember to post sources as much as possible. Apart from anything else, it makes our job of convincing the reader much easier, as we are able to draw upon the work of other people to bolster our own case.

If it's your own idea and your own blog, you don't have to do weeks of tedious research to see if someone else independently had the same idea.

Just be as honest as you can. If you got the idea somewhere else, credit it. If you didn't get it somewhere else, don't worry about it unless you are submitting for publication.
