Christ: good point. People should be encouraged to try to solve problems.

Consider the OP as well, though. Someone basically floating ideas, who presumably hasn't tried anything like this before (just an assumption, apologies if it's not true).

Some of the people I most admire on the EV Discussion List regularly reply to "floaters" with a response that goes something like: (1) Neat idea! (2) Here are the reasons why nobody here has done it so far. (3) Harness your enthusiasm, solve some of the aforementioned problems, and maybe you'll be the first!
