Often, even though a definitive answer in not provided, I find some-one elses ideas extremely helpful.

I may be so tied up in trying to solve an issue I have, that I don't always consider that there may be a different, if not better, approach.

Think outside the box type stuff.. isn't always so easy to do when you are faced with a deadline or head banging problem... I would vote that you post your suggestions/ideas and let the community or poster decide if they want to use your comments.

I also often find that just talking to some-one else, whether they understand my problem or not, is helpful as it stimulates thought processes differently, that otherwise may not have been invoked.
