Thats a good question.  Is this help forum for people who are trying  
to use Octave and who have not shared all of their code with you  
(whether in C++ or octave), or is it just for people who are  
developing additions to the Octave code base?  You might want to  
update the statement on the help page if youd like to keep potential  
users like myself from emailing the list.

Im of the belief that helping someone out in the forums when they try  
to use your software does help the community by creating another great  
source of pseudo documentation.

In any case, I suppose its a moot point since I am no longer going to  
be a user of Octave.
