[split] University of Vienna Voynich Manuscript seminar

[merrimacga]

Side thought: whenever an academic does something like this, I always pray that they won't get flooded with correspondence from Voynich theorists. I don't mean like you guys, you show enthusiasm and interest in what they are doing, which can only be a positive thing. But there are others...

I had that thought as well as I started creating items in the calendar. Although anyone probably could find these events online, just having the direct link to them posted here, whether in a thread or the calendar, would certainly make it easier for spammers to find. I think it is better to post these events than not but perhaps in some circumstances, it may be a good idea, like I did before I posted about You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., to give the lecturer or instructor a heads up first and ask permission. Sometimes, it may be okay to post without asking permission but then include in the post verbiage to the effect that the person posting will run point in communicating with the lecturer or instructor so they aren't flooded with emails about the event. In the case of an event page link only being available with no direct contact to an individual provided, those should be okay without such precautions taken. This won't stop everyone, especially not the "others" Koen mentions, but it may be a good compromise.
