RE: VMs: VMS not Welsh? oh well....

["Robert Antony Hicks" <rob_hicks_vms@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dr Strong's papers are fascinating.  About a month ago, I took the two pages 
he claimed to have deciphered, transcribed them, and then tried to match 
them up with the alleged plaintext.  There is a correlation, in terms of 
letter counts for words, between the characters in the VMS and the letters 
of the 'plaintext'.

I then looked at Strong's tables, in which the Roman alphabet is lined up 
with several rows of voynich characters.  These tables seem to match the 
patterns observed.

So had Strong found a key? I don't think so.  It seems to me that the tables 
were made to explain the plaintext, as opposed to the tables leading to the 
plaintext.  If the tables were genuine, where on earth would they have come 
from?  Remember Strong had access to only two pages of the MS.
