The main practical problem that I find is that there are quite a few people who believe that the Voynich has already been deciphered. The problem with this is that I can contact someone regarding specific documents or a specific question and explain that I am researching the Voynich manuscript, however they may tell me that they had read that it had been deciphered, which would seem to invalidate my research in their mind before even addressing my specific interests. Generally I don't tend to explain that I am researching the Voynich manuscript and this is usually not necessary; if one is looking for enciphered letters then it doesn't matter what the end goal is. Still it is annoying that people have this preconception.
