Oh, I can top that, Markus! In my work I've come across stuff that has been lying around for 40, 50 or even 70 years that no-one has seen fit to write up and get out there in the open air. I don't think that it is willful - it's just a matter of money and having the time to deal with it all. The Internet may become a partial solution to this situation - but only if "it" gets its act together and things get posted that have been properly peer-reviewed. Yes, I know - don't hold your breath!
