'Actually I cannot see a problem with asking on a website, it is similar to asking someone at work, you take on board what they are saying listen to their suggestions and go through them in your own head to see if they are offering a different avenue to those that you have all considered at work.'
Surely the (big)difference is that when I ask someone at work,I know the guy and if I didn't think he had the experience & knowledge to have the answer,I wouldn't ask him.
Taking advice from someone you have never met and don't know is a bit too close to pot luck.
