Quote:I'd like to understand the authors' reasons for sending you their theories, instead of posting them on the forum. Aren't they aware of your attitude towards "solvers"?
I think some people consider this forum to be "hostile". So they may want to discuss their solution before posting it here.
Personally I think this place isn't hostile. People here are just honest, clever and critical thinking. At other places like Facebook you can put some mystical, illogical mumbo-jumbo and most probably you will get a few likes but none criticism.
It is generally reasonable that before going public people prefer asking "an expert" in a private conversation. The problem is that many of them aren't ready for criticism, they just want to hear "You are cool, you solved Voynich Manuscript"
