[Interview] Voynich documentary on the Travel Channel

[ReneZ]

I can say that I have not been asked for this documentary.

Anyone who has been involved in Voynich MS discussions more than superficially, for at least five years or so, will be aware that there is a certain amount of tension among some people, and some (misplaced) partisanship. There's quite a bit of finger-pointing and ad hominem.

While such things may be expected in important issues like global warming and the appropriate handling of the Corona virus, and just about any major political issue in any country, for a completely innocent topic like one not-too-important historical manuscript this makes no sense.

That Nick did not find this too interesting is his opinion, and that is fine. I understand what he means. I have a different opinion, but in the end I am sure that there are more points on which I agree with Nick than on which I disagree. 

I really appreciate that the contributions from Rich and from Gordon Rugg were neutral. While I disagree with their theories about the MS, I know both and have found talking to them personally both interesting and pleasant.
