My God! You've posted ideal Jacques Guy bait!  This must be a subtle
ploy to get him more involved on the Voynich list.  Good work,
I'll remember this trick in the future.

I've not looked at Rongorongo script in ages, so I'll refrain from
commenting on the link itself.  But I remember as a young boy being
terribly fascinated by the supposed link between Rongorongo script
and the Mohenjodaro seal script.  I believe it has been shown
that there is in fact no link whatsoever, but for a young mind
with a fertile imagination, it was a lot of fun to ponder ancient
Dravidians sharing technology with Easter Islanders.

I'm afraid this doesn't have anything to do with the VMS at this
point, so I'll shut up now.
