Of course not. I know that my English is easily recognized as that of a foreign
man and I welcome any correction as far as I can understand it, adopt it and
use it. I even wrote specific request for corrections on the front page of my
blog, but likely because my blog is not read by too many people or too often,
I am yet to receive a suggestion.

I hope you don't think I was criticising your English. You yourself
pointed out your difficulty with a very complex sentence construction,
and I offered a version which is correct, in the spirit of helping
you.
The changes in word order reminded me of the little scene from
Moliere's play Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (The Bourgeois Gentleman),
which you can see recreated in this extremely enjoyable feature film
about Moliere, starting at 5:08:
