Wayne (Hurra 912) has a good point, IMO.
For example, fuzzily, I remember about 10 or 15 yrs. ago, a man sued either GM or it was the big three collectively, for "stealing" his invention of the intermittant windshield wiper.
Now what if that person posted that invention here on this forum? Jon says Wayne owns what is posted - which makes sense up until the point of this being called a "public forum."
So, legally, is the invention Wayne's? Is it still owned by the man who came up with the intermittant wiper? Or is it now public domain?
