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.
