Discussion of Voynich MS-related theories

[Mark Knowles]

I have a theory who sold the MS to Rudolf. This is based on data, but it is not confirmed.

Nevertheless it would be interesting to hear even if it is just speculation. Even if you are wrong it might give others an idea as to what the right answer might be, so you should not shy away of presenting an idea just because there is a possibility that it is wrong, I certainly wouldn't.

Mark, recently you wrote that you have read every word of my web site.

You know, I didn't believe it then, and I believe it even less now.

I have read it. If I have forgotten any specific point I think that quite understandable. I have read Nick Pelling's book that doesn't mean I remember every single detail he wrote in it. I have absorbed what I found most interesting at the time as I do with anything that I am reading. If you expect me to remember every word like it is the bible then you could be disappointed. Do tell me what you think I have missed and how it is acceptable for you to accuse me of lying?

I can't say I have read the Terms and Conditions, if there are any, but I have endeavoured to read everything.

Again this is an example of the attitude problem that I am talking about. To go around directly accusing someone of lying is serious. This I find quite unacceptable. You have no business to accuse me of lying. Note I have not accused you of lying. I think it is this kind of disrespect that Antonio was alluding to. I would "advise" you to think harder before insulting people in this way. I would appreciate an apology as I am moving towards a zero tolerance policy for rudeness.
