Perhaps we were just witnessing Steffi's inner dialogue. Certainly, no grounds for a ban.
I think I have the same issue with the MBA's trackpad button that you have. I think you can kinda push it and it kinda clicks; a couple of times in the past few days (I received mine Feb 7th) I thought it wasn't responding, so I clicked with a little more gusto and it responded. I think I've been a little too delicate with the button since it's so small.
I have to say that so far, really, the only thing I don't like about the keyboard/trackpad combination on the MBA is how thin the button is. Should have taken up a little more real estate on the trackpad, IMHO.
