Hi Tom,

 

I’m old enough to not catch onto these things right away.

 

Where’s my cane…

Hi, David. I was not being so erudite: seems to me that "gate" at the end of a 
word denotes a scandal, from Watergate to pizzagate and on. I'll take this one 
as a fail - humorgate.... 

Best wishes, 

TR

Hi Tom,

  

It’s true—ResearchGate has its critics, as does every other platform with which 
I’m familiar, including the most revered. For different reasons, of course, but 
critics are everywhere.

  

Myself, I make trivial use of it almost like LinkedIn (which is about as close 
to a social network as I typically get). I share some of my published reports 
and papers. These were hijacked by The Internet long ago, hence posting them 
via ResearchGate so that a few more people might read them doesn’t make a 
difference to me and is as far as I go. I’ve done this a couple other places as 
well.

  

All the best,

  

DW
