I rather think you can, since that is where the average user is going
to go for help. If there is an avalanche of negative comments about the
way something has been implemented, or changed, or perceived as broken,
then there's obviously something real going on. Many, MANY bugfixes
have come about because of comments in user fora--not necessarily from
bugzillas.
