But the point was that they wouldn't say that. Paul had to force them to and I, for one, am glad that he did. True, I don't think I am high on the target list but I don't intend to give my president that kind of power.

You need to be asking this on some other board. Slashdot users are power users and thus cannot bring themselves to get into the 'everyday' user experience. I know they use systems other than Linux, but it's the mindset that is different. I teach this very thing at a University and it is extremely difficult for developers to get into the 'user' experience. That's not a bad thing, it's just a different animal - most users don't understand the things that most Slashdot users will take as common knowledge. If you really want to know then take a survey on a more general site.

Indeed. Is that project still active?
