You don't need to worry about citations for me, if you use my stuff.  If it does not belong to someone else (I will cite reference if it does, some folks are sticky about that) to someone else and I have posted it to this list, consider it public domain.  95% of everything I know came from people selflessly sharing, I might have put a few of the things they knew together in a way they didn't, or combined a couple of friends teachings, but for me to claim ownership of the stuff I post or suggest (especially on this topic) is just about as silly as me claiming ownership of French Toast even though I occasionally make some and serve it.  What I post or suggest is almost 100% of the time not original 'intellectual property', even if the arrangement might be unique.  In my mind, even if I don't get one bit of recognition, if the person using it got something of value out of it, it's a win.
 
And if you must reference, make sure that anything referenced to me is actually something I said.  Not cut up, edited, or remixed.  I do a most excellent job of being misunderstood and putting my foot in my mouth as it is all on my own, don't need help.
