Absolutely! I didn't mean we shouldn't discuss this on the list. I wanted to draw attention on the fact that at some point it's easier to track down issues when they are "isolated" in the bug tracker! :) For instance, we?ve covered more ground than just the initial issue of that post and there is a risk of loosing good ideas. Again, I agree : no harm! :)) Just checked in the bug tracker. There is a "user interface" section (that has always been there I think) but no "usability". Wonder if I got it correctly and whether there should be a new option here.
