  "abstract": "It was recently published by M. Nauenberg [1] a quite long list of objections about the physical validity for thermal statistics of the theory sometimes referred to in the literature as {\\it nonextensive statistical mechanics}. This generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics is based on the following expression for the entropy: S_q= k\\frac{1- \\sum_{i=1}^Wp_i^q}{q-1} (q \\in {\\cal R}; S_1=S_{BG} \\equiv -k\\sum_{i=1}^W p_i \\ln p_i) . The author of [1] already presented orally the essence of his arguments in 1993 during a scientific meeting in Buenos Aires. I am replying now simultaneously to the just cited paper, as well as to the 1993 objections (essentially, the violation of \"fundamental thermodynamic concepts\", as stated in the Abstract of [1]).",
