I have no doubt you are really trying to solve it, not just trying to get something published that makes it look like you're ahead of the pack (which is the impression I get from this paper which seems superficial and which credits a lot of out-of-date sources and none of the recent ones).
Yes, of course, there is a lot of my thinking that I have been quite uncomfortable about making public yet. I was asked as I explained my analysis to Professor Harvey and others if I would write a paper about my theory for a Journal about the History of Cartography, but given that I can't definitively proof my theory I was somewhat cagey about it as I didn't want it to reflect badly on their journal if it ever turned out to be flawed and as we know in the highly publicised world of Voynich research this could be problematic.
