If you post an idea on this list (or in a newsgroup for that matter),
its effectively public domain. You have lost all rights and
ownership. If you don't want to lose that excusivity, then don't post
about it. Of course if you don't post about it, you can't discuss it,
and thus lose the benefit of many experts picking it over for flaws or
possible extensions.
Aside: I would hope that any commercial or hobbiest product which is
extensively based on ideas garnered from say this list or a newsgroup
posting would have the manners to credit the original source.

No problem.
Writing as list owner:
1) This thread dies here and now. Its noise, and detracts from the
list.
2) I want to stop writing as list owner. *Please*.
