Antw: Festschrift for Bob

[De Reuse, Willem]

Hmm, let us take Bob's statements that Siouanists are lazy with a grain of salt.  I don't know about all fields of Native American linguistics, but in the field of Athabascan, we have the same problem!    And Athabascanists won't tolerate anyone calling them lazy!   :)

Dear Siouanists,

I remember that I once had a conversation with Bob on published articles on
Siouan languages, and he told me that Siouanists are lazy, they don't publish
their stuff, so that so many manuscripts bear the lable "unfinished or
unpublished" and are stored somewhere on various computers or even as copies in
various shoeboxes. I think, we are all aware of this problem.
