Should the link "Ask a question" be direct?

I’m sure many of you are familiar with your mini-profile on the side of the page, and the “ask a question” button. What irritates me slightly is that it just redirects you to the home page, and i find it irritating that i have to press 2 links instead of 1. Is there anyone here who thinks it should take you directly to the start of asking a question/ starting a discussion? It just seems illogical to have it take you to the home page, when there are already 2 other links to do this.

I just emailed this suggestion to Andrew yesterday, actually. We’ll see if he and Ben agree!
Also, the reason why it does this: not too long ago, to ask a question you filled out a form that was on the home page itself. This was recently changed, and the Ask a Question link was simply not updated to reflect that change.
