And what have you accomplished in life to have a right to call me "clueless"? I have at least published a few papers in peer-reviewed journals, the latest one being of rather high quality.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

None of those scholars told me my work was "uninteresting trash". Not even the most insightful works about Croatian names of places get printed in English, why would they? Katičić published a few works about names of places on islands of the Adriatic sea in Italian, because he thought it might be interesting to Italian audience. Mayer published some things (I believe about the name of the river Mura) about Croatian names of places in German, because he intended to reach Austrian audience. But none of them, as far as I know, even tried to publish in English.
