Unfortunately, the scientific community acknowledges the author/originator of an idea through published manuscripts/journals more so than electronic bulletin boards. If this material were posted, then anyone could quickly produce and publish a report while I am still methodically experimenting. It is not helpful to publish prematurely, especially when such reports are likely to be rejected by conference mediators. For now, a one-on-one approach is better until the time comes when a sufficient number of diverse experiments show rather conclusively its value. Then it would be correct to broadcast the results.
