Iliya, there is a certain protocol which you should observe as, like the rest of us, you are here as a guest in a privately owned and funded forum. "News" posts should refer to and include excerpts and links to articles which you find interesting and/or informative. You can color that news by inserting your own opinions and comments in the first post and then take your chances of being flamed or zotted. But if you wish to just vent your spleen on a particular topic you should go to Bloggers and Personal. It avoids a lot of unpleasantness later on.
PS: Few if any us are going to be impressed by a PhD. Most participants here have at least some university experience and quite a few of us also have advanced degrees. Flashing a doctorate like it's a papal ring to be kissed just makes you look a bit silly.
