Probably something to that.
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.
Do you know how many croatian members AF has?
