This list of useful research has, as everything in life usually has, its good side and its not so good side. It is certainly a good idea as an introduction to someone who is beginning to be interested in the Voynich. An Elegant Enigma by Mary D'Imperio, ReneZ's page, Koen's videos and other works cited here are certainly a great contribution.
But what about people like me who have been researching VM for years and it turns out that they don't fit with conventional ideas? And in my case, it turns out this is the most-read thread on this forum. Furthermore, I hold not a theory of the script but of the book as a whole. I also follow the ideas of prestigious researchers like Panofsky and, like him, I don't believe that there is any biological or balneological section in the Voynich, contrary to popular opinion.
Where should I be? On Tavie's damned list? Or perhaps in Limbo for not having been baptized by those who know?
