answer:No, I don’t see that being helpful. 99% of the posts would be stupid. If someone did have a good idea, it would be buried in a sea of crap. You need to understand a lot of very technical things to be able to troubleshoot something like this. Most people don’t even really understand what an engineer is. I’m sure there are a lot of people working on solving the problem. It is best left to experts that know what is going on and know what they are doing. If you have an idea you thing is worthy, you are supposed to be able to take that to your elected official and let them forward it on through appropriate channels. And also, in order to offer a solution, you’d have to be supplied with adequate information defining the problem. Companies like BP probably would not want to divulge all the information necessary for a layman to come up with a feasible solution.
