I merely asked you to post in a better readable way, to the advantage of all 
subscriber of this newsgroup.  Perhaps you can tell me by which action

Not at all.

Let the record show then that you are not willing to substantiate your

Well, as you can read in the resource referred to by my Usenet signature 
(“sig”), after about 14 years of practical, professional experience and 10 
contributed to this newsgroup (which I have been maintaining a FAQ for since 
about 4 years¹ [also in the sig]), I have successfully defended my thesis on 
the subject in 2012, and I am continuing to observe rather closely the 
development in this field.

What is your excuse?
