I agree.  Frankly, I think this continual debate is getting ridiculous.  Why
is/are the source/s becoming more important than the information?

Traditionally, the original source should be credited to prevent "circular
reporting".  The alternative is to have long lists of "via <insert publication
here>" and that detracts from the original intent of the log in the first
place.

This is a hobby - we need to put our common sense before our ego.
