I'm sorry if this is not the correct word to express what I wanted to 
say. I didn't intend to "denigrate" anything (I didn't even know the 
word "denigrate" until now...), I just wanted to say that I can't read 
or even understand these letters at all.

I wasn't aware the word "stuff" is "denigrating" letters I cannot read, 
I was just using it in the neutral sense of "material"... I now 
consulted the Merriam-Webster dictionary ( 
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stuff ) and saw the word has 
very different meanings, among them

4 a : literary or artistic production

b : writing, discourse, talk, or ideas of little value : trash

As you know I'm not a native English speaker. You probably recognized 
4.b while I meant 4.a. However, I hope I now made clear what I wanted to 
say.

Best wishes: Michael
