Great attitude. We all have egos, but mine has been bashed to pieces when it comes to this hobby. Every time I think I know something, someone much smarter or at least much smarter about the topic than me chimes in. That is a good thing. I just laugh at myself. My ego is defined in other aspects of my life.
So, carry a thick skin, like I know you do, and please keep the ideas coming, good, bad, and ugly! You are one of the great resources who post here.

If you figure out how to solve that small issue, let EVERYONE know!
An anonymous post feedback system in this specific type of sub-forum would be nice (e.g. where individual posts could be rated as a helpful contribution to the discussion or a negative, not contributing).

This type of system would allow people who might not otherwise speak for fear of being judged positively or negatively to speak up. Accordingly, those bringing potentially beneficial outside-the-box ideas might receive support that they might not realize that they have, while on the other hand providing a means to down-vote critics who offer nothing more than rote cautionary platitudes that speak nothing to the specific critical idea being proposed.
