This is a pretty weak complaint. The man gave you a reference; if it
contains the material you're asking about, he has answered your query.

Your statement that he has referred to this reference before suggests a
much better track record than that of many ethnologists on this newsgroup, who
insult, denounce, and attack in response to requests for reference material.

This is the first time that I've seen somebody insulted for *providing* a
reference, however.
