No, I was only asking to be more specific about Groovy. I am not sure 
why your earlier post did not lead to a fix to answers.ros.org, I am not 
happy about that either.

Yes, I think that ros-users is for discussions, which is why I wanted 
you to be more specific.

I do, though mostly for answering. Yet I also note bugs. As an example, 
try searching for "pcl". I find it alarming that answers.ros.org has no 
public issue tracker, to start with.

Anyone with enough karma may improve any aspect of a question, the 
title, content and tags.

I won't reply to the Groovy comments, but I hope somebody more suitable 
will (e.g. Tully). Still thanks for being more specific. I believe both 
positive as well as negative feedback helps the community.

cheers,
