   Dear The Doctor:   
      
   I admire you for your promotion of Usenet, as USENET is better than many    
   HTTP(S) alternatives.   
      
   However a few seconds ago I uploaded to LinkedIn:   
   "Dear Mister Professor Doctor [. . .], Ph.D., This LinkedIn thread    
   has 289 comments plus 4,646 additional reactions and has been reposted    
   382 times, all within circa ten days. (LinkedIn imprecisely    
   underestimates as only 1 week.) By contrast, the slowest moderated USENET    
   newsgroup which I ever attempt to write to - sci.physics.research - has    
   no post about Jos-María Martín-Olalla, "Proof of the Nernst theorem",    
   "The European Physical Journal Plus", (2025) 140:528 even though I sent a    
   submission to this newsgroup about this publication on Date: Sat, 12 Jul    
   2025 22:50:47 +0200   
   The youngest timestamp that I see in this newsgroup is Date: Mon, 07 Jul    
   2025 10:54:39 PDT (I saw it via 2 USENET servers.)"   
      
   Yours sincerely.
