Re:publish (Score 1)

I didn't say there weren't better ways to publish. But if you are disclosing it for defensive purposes only, as an individual, chances are you don't want to spend the time and money trying to get your paper published in an official journal. You state that "you simply don't want to spend time arguing in court about whether a blog post counts as prior art" and "Doing anything else [besides established ways of publishing] is unnecessarily risky." Perhaps you would like to elaborate on these additional requirements which pertain to the medium in which something is published? Otherwise, you're merely generally alleging a point.
