I thought that was what this group was for?  It gets to
most of the human factors people at Maryland, including
the famous ones like Ben Shneiderman and his people and
John Gannon, and the not so famous ones like me.  I don't
know about other sites.

The other group where human factors are sometimes discussed 
is net.works (about workstations).
