Abstract
It is shown that the diluted thermodynamical limit of a self-gravitating system proposed by de Vega and Sanchez suffers from the same problems as the usual thermodynamical limit and leads to divergent thermodynamical functions. This question is also discussed from the point of view of mean field theory.
