Many of us follow the philosophy that "users are not designers".  We are open 
to hear about interface and interaction difficulties you are having, however 
often stop short once you start suggesting design alternatives.

The "users are not designers" topic has been covered here before, the archives 
could probably give you more background information as to why we feel that 
way.
