After I made my post, I considered a lot of things: If Arik read his journal in the early 1980s, would he still write it in the 1990s and 2000?
No.

If Bill Holbrook read the E-mail from the 2000s, would he write the Danielle storyline?
Would he even care?
Quote from Jeanette on Oct 26th, 2018, 4:14pm:
Would you write to me if you read your E-mail in the Early 80s?
It would depend on the subject of the email.
But in all three cases, all involved would look into what would happen and try to change it just enough but a change would incur and that could bring on a worse consequence. In my mind:
Arik would make changes to what happened from what he read then to bring a better outcome, which would fail.
Bill Holbrook, remember, at about this time he was exploring ways to make money with his "Kevin & Kell," even though he was making money on his "On the Fast Track" and "Safe Havens." And despite his bitching for money, he was already making over $50K for those two comic strips alone. Add ads on the websites, conventions and fairs, selling art, and so on with all three comics and who knows what else he has, he was making $75K to $100K back then. So, having 1 fan having distress because of a story line? He, like others before him in the Comic Book Industry will force themselves to forget about it and continue on with the story.
Me writing emails to you back then? It depends on the situation back then like it did on those days. I backed you up with the Sock puppet crew tried to make you and Arik look bad, and you did the same for me. It was in those days that we solidify a friendship then that despite the verbal fights and argument we had over the years would not end it. That said a lot - we can disagree to the point of fang and claws but in the end we respect each other. And that is what a true friendship is.

Assuming the information does end up in good hands and those who have received the items decide it is safe to publish them after a specific date, they would have to wait until after January 28, 1986, because the journal has enough information on the Space Shuttle Challenger that NASA would scrub the January 28, 1986 launch.
Not necessarily true. As the "founder" of Computer/Technology Education in NYC in 1984, I was allowed to teach without a license because I did not have a degree but I have advanced skills to teach from. I was also allowed to join the Teachers in Space Program. From there things were Blaise', nothing was allowed to challenge the status quo. I ended up being Teacher #293, I've would have put me in the missions after the Columbia Accident if there would have been no accident.
But again, do not challenge the status quo. I wanted certain computer experiments with my students that are happening now in the ISS with the UK, EU and ESA with the Astro Pi (a Raspberry Pi inside a Space Case:
https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/astro-pi-flight-case ). But I was going to use an Atari 800 Computer with their "Science Lab" which has a cartridge of software and various sensors. They considered it too large for a simple shuttle mission. I offered to shrink the package, they still refused it. So I went with something else and Challenger happened. All Teachers in Space program participants were told that the program is over because space missions are deemed too dangerous for civilians.
NASA has had several warning for Challenger and several close calls with Discover and Columbia before. They did not heed those warnings. Any warnings from the future, they would not heed. As Pointus Pilot once stated, they would say, "I wash my hands at this."

This is what the Bible says:
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." -- 24:36
However, we have idiots like Edgar C. Whisenant who wrote the book
88 Reasons Why The Rapture Will Be in 1988. We also have idiots who believed that book.
Assuming the last published page is from 2009, a person with some sense can smack Edgar upside the head: "How can the rapture be in 1988 If Jeanette Isabelle's last published E-mail conversation is from 2009?"
The point is the published writings will shut those idiots up for a little while.
There will always be idiots who will say things to get a following. It does not matter that one says or does to prevent or stop it, eliminate one idiot, and another will replace him. That is the problem with Power; eliminate that who is power, and a vacuum will be created and somebody else will be put into or take that position to fill the void.
If anything, these idiots do make life "interesting."

Back to the Future II predicted 911 and other events. But at the same time there are dozens of YouTube videos of movies that discuss the future and compares to hoe right or wrong they were. Watch this video very carefully:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0TpRGXKdog The video you posted demonstrates why it would be a good idea to set the record straight on what will happen in the future. Women will wear lightbulbs in their hair in the year 2000! How silly is that?
Light bulbs in one's hair, they were not too far off on that as I seen an LED net or cap that goes over one's head and LEDs turn on/off and flash in different colors but LEDs are a lot smaller than Light Bulbs. The Past can only guess what the future will be by comparing what it has in terms of technology. They were very close with the Computers though they did not know what computers were in those days; the latest prediction about them was around 1964 with the online shopping and banking, and though computers came in 1977, for computers to do what the prediction foretold (ie: online shopping, et al) it would take another 20 years in 1995 with the advent of the Internet.
Quote from Jeanette on Oct 26th, 2018, 4:14pm: Quote from Fernando on Oct 25th, 2018, 10:02pm:To think that somebody exists that you can trust with knowledge from the future, would be putting the entire human race in jeopardy. The temptation of using that information to profit from it would be too great. It is best to leave it alone. Even I with the knowledge of the Construct of Time that I have, can not be trusted with that information.
How can the information be used for profit other than to sell books and make movies? It's not like there is any financial information. One might argue the 1989 add for a 1990 Lexus could be a stock tip; that add does not tell the reader how well it was received. From that perspective, the Lexus could have failed as easily it could succeed.

Lets take Bill Holbrook, if you knew that he would become a (eh...) famous cartoonist, despite what he did with the Danielle story line and hurting a fan in the process, you could approach him before he became famous, invest in his talent and even put insurance on his life and talent in case he would hurt on the job. As soon as he for famous, that investment and its value would grow.
In thinking about Lexus (Infinity and others), those luxury cars did not come out until around 1990. One in 1986 can invest in their parent company (Toyota for Lexus) and then split the stock when the fledgling Lexus comes out in 1990. This would double the stock's value instantly. As is, this a lot more than "a stock tip." It's Insider Trading, which is illegal if it can be proven as such.
Like in the Back To The Future series, two things were shown as past knowledge influencing the future:
1) Biff's Sports Almanac from the future that listed winders of sport events and the lottery. This information made Biff a very rich and powerful man.
2) Doc Brown's investment in the old West and a)inventing air conditioning/freezer (which happened at about that time period and area) and b) Doc Brown's investing in the guy that invented Barbed Wire for fencing. That made Doc Brown rich enough to buy his own steam train, which says a lot within itself.
