In a way you are right.

To me SRT was 'forbidden territory' and I have rejected it more by 
'feeling', rather than by analysis.

As I'm not 'anti-relivity' (because I need GR for my 'book') I could not 
reject it, but didn't think it is correct. So, avoidence seems a 
possibility.

But after being annoyed enough by Dono (and others) I was actually 
forced to do something. So I have written my comments.

I used a method which I have used for other puposes before, but refined 
and extended it a little.

so, comments to a pdf seemed a very plausible method.

Well, that is here the question: who's the fool?
