Perhaps if you see a tip you'd like to add, perhaps you could ask
the person if he/she would like to:
 (a)have his/her tip included in your database (very likely, but it
    would be simply courteous to ask first)
 (b)have his/her name and/or email listed with the tip

If the tip came from this mailing list, you could find the person's
name and email address in the list archives.
