If that's the case, the post was unsuitable.

But what about a link, and an explaining short paragraph/quote? Would that be 
ok?

It is off-topic in the strict sense -- "kde-usability is for KDE Usability 
Development" -- but it nevertheless is interesting for the people on the 
list, and most likely gain KDE's usability by introducing new thoughts. 
Discussion of the post would be forbidden(it could be mentioned in each 
post). Besides, it's probably 3 times more on-topic than the average post on 
this list :)


Cheers,
