Why not move it? People only interested in GUI issues would miss out on a
lot of discussion and people not interested in GUI issues get their
mailbox cluttered up.

The GUI list is working, and has been for some time. I've commented on the
Style Guide on that list and judging from the follow-ups Mr Blizzard isn't
even on the list. I think everyone who is discussing usability issues
should join that list now and stop sending off-topic posts to the main
Gnome list.
