   David Bishop had recommended me to create a LinkedIn account to try to   
   find a job which actually pays money. This is why I created an account   
   on LinkedIn. Mister Bishop means well, but LinkedIn fails at the only   
   task which I created this account for.   
      
   A person who used to contribute more than 700 articles to   
   comp.lang.vhdl who promotes VHDL a lot on LinkedIn likes a recent   
   LinkedIn comment by me that comp.lang.vhdl is for works, but the   
   newest comp.lang.vhdl article by him that I detect is dated 2021.   
      
   Alas persons use LinkedIn instead of the USENET. LinkedIn is not good   
   at threads. LinkedIn is not good at archiving reliably.   
      
   LinkedIn is not good for detailed discussions.   
      
   I do not find it to be a complete waste of time though, as   
   non-engineers who are important to me find it convenient to use.   
      
   A purported electronic engineer follows me on LinkedIn since the Year   
   2020 but I did not log onto LinkedIn even once in that year. I do not   
   know why he follows me. All the HDL users and all the purported   
   electronic engineers who connect with me on LinkedIn after he started   
   following me are persons whom I never detect contributing to the   
   USENET. Many of the persons with whom I am never connected with on   
   LinkedIn who follow me on LinkedIn work only in professions which are   
   completely unrelated to mine. Maybe some day I will become a client of   
   some of these persons, but I have found using LinkedIn to be useless   
   for getting a job and not useless for communications with unsimilar   
   persons who insist on using that limited medium.

   If I would be hiring then I would want to see that a candidate   
   contributes to the USENET.
