I agree, I'd rather see comp.soft-sys.octave closed as its not a group
that is largely read or written to. However, as it exists, I'd rather
that people who post there don't as you say judge octave by that group..
The problem is that matlab and scilab's main support forum is one of
these newsgroups and so yes we are judged by our reactiveness on these
groups..

Sure I'd suggest sending a message to this list with a title like "Read
this before posting to this group" and give the mailing lists and Nabble
archives as the suggested means of support.

Regards
David

PS. The mail to maintainers at octave.org in debian bug 471273 didn't get
through to the maintainers lists.
