I read summercamp's original serial some time ago and found it very educational. I'm interested in your writing on this subject as well, and hope we have more in-depth discussion on it. One thing we can learn from this episode is that we need to tread carefully while using materials of which the source is not clear.
Here is a website about citing online materials. Hope it helps.
