Since - as far as I understand it - I am the only person who noticed before 2010 that the zodiac isn't a zodiac, and (despite the impression Rene has given out, more than once) when I presented that opinion I pointed out, for the first time in Voynich studies, that the series contained two goats and no sheep.. and at the same time explained just why that fact would have been obvious to any non-halfwitted person in Latin Europe.
From that day to this, not one person has engaged in a dispassionate discussion with me, or made an intelligent comment directly to me, or asked for more explanation, or further textual or iconographic matter as context.
What has happened is that Rene was the first to openly adopt (without failing to take credit by the simple technique of omitting to credit his source.. as he does) the item about the two goats.
Now we have the 'nagging'... the end of which is to have a detailed, informed, historically justifiable argument neither read, nor debated, nor even understood. But then you are asked to vote on whether or not it's right.
... Well, vote away. Nothing to do with me. I wasn't offered a ticket in that lottery.
