I studied history in addition to philosophy in undergrad and still have only a vague sense of where the top departments are for that subject. Since the first time I saw the PGR in high school, the same was never the case for philosophy. What you did in creating the PGR has been a great gift to those of us who didn't grow up on the coasts and don't originally come from backgrounds of prestige. I hope you know that there are still some of us out there (even in the younger generation!) who see past this drivel on Daily Nous and are grateful.
Folks can and will discuss the PGR on social media, though I fear they may be deluding themselves if they think their comments on another blog are going to be read by the two decision-makers. (I should add that while I know many readers have concerns about the behavior of Justin Weinberg, the editor of the DN blog--his petty vindictiveness, his cheerleading for the abuse of Title IX, and bullying of junior faculty--I do not think that thread is the place to discuss them!)
