I would not suggest that your input... or Aga's, or Rene's, or anyone's... be relegated to the basement. Why would you wish that upon me, and my ideas?

At comment #16 in this thread you injected your forgery theory into this thread.
You said "Of course this refers to the thread discussing my recent blog post, "I Do Listen to the Experts: Do you?", which elicited a large number of comments here at the Ninjas."
It didn't specifically refer to your thread it referred to a general discussion of which your thread was a small part. I didn't want this thread to be filled up with your theory. You have your own thread already.

But Mark, respectfully, my quote, and the post it is part of, is exactly on the topic of the use of expert opinion in mine, and all investigations. It is not at all off topic. Is your contention that any response I, alone, make, here on the Ninja's, should first be self-censored of any mention of forgery, or my theories?
Anyone could, and many did, chime in... just as I did... and explain how this interesting problem of expert opinion affects them. Are forgery ideas, alone, to be stricken from that record?
Rich.

These could be specialists in the history of astrology or the history of herbal manuscripts and other fields(I am open to suggestions).
Do consider the possibility that any specialist we list will also become a target for all theorists who see the list, each with a different theory and each more convinced than the last. So it might become a "list of people we'd like to turn away from Voynich research".

That would be the worst case scenario. However, experts do not have to deal with everything that is presented to them. I suspect that an expert will quickly recognize whether a question has been carefully worked out or not. Unfortunately, he/she could still be bothered by a flood of queries. One could only appeal to common sense and urge restraint.
