Recently Groh and Dietrich claimed the thermodynamic state of a dipolar fluid depends on the shape of the fluid's container. For example, a homogeneous fluid in a short fat container would phase separate when transferred to a tall skinny container of identical volume and temperature. Their calculation thus lacks a thermodynamic limit. We show that removal of demagnetizing fields restores the true, shape independent, thermodynamic limit. As a consequence, spontaneously magnetized liquids display inhomogeneous magnetization textures.
