The 13-year-old-terminal-illness tweet was a question from someone who wished to be anonymous. I've developed my own intuition for question credit over the years, and here's roughly the rules I follow:
9
2
70
Conversation
1. For "I have a poll idea," I either credit them directly or say "submitted by friend"
2. If I hear a q asked in conversation, I ask if they want credit; if no, I don't leave any credit line
3. For very common qs, for qs where originator is unclear, I don't ask or include credit

Questions are a confusing 'ownership' area; some of them are clearly original ideas that are closer to like... a quote or creative idea, and others like... belong to humanity? For Askhole, around 50% are original from me and , the other are collected.

I'd be curious how many of your followers have a job (or have ever, if few) where they have to shower after work, instead of before.
