By seeing a post in the forums, do more people assume they do not need to report the bug? There may be that kind of impact as well.
At the same time, LWD has asked people to report the bugs in the tracker even when not sure.. because it is easy for them to miss a forum post. Yet, sometimes they still acknowledge forum posts and say that it will be fixed. I think that undercuts the message to use the bug report system.
