No no... post your ideas, no matter how wacky, as long as they haven't been
posted yet. That's brainstorming.

Even if you know there is a flaw in idea E1 and E2 of yours, and in L1 and
L2 of mine, someone may come up with F1a which is == L1*E1 - E2/(L2+D1) and
solve all our problems. And if F1a isn't quite right, someone else may come
up with F1a2 which is better.

It sounds silly but brainstorming really works. Trust me. I'm not saying
that just because I've charged clients exorbitant amounts of money to lead
them through it... I'm saying it because it works.
