Any way to make it easier to see others ideas and to co-operate more
effectively can't be bad. Unless it infringes privacy. :-( I think your idea
should be put to a general vote, although some that have posted in the past
may not be on the list anymore. Would that not be a consideration?

BTW I found Phil Neal's site at
http://mysite.freeserve.com/philipneal/voynich/voypage.html boy is that an
INTERESTING site good one Phil. I will be reading it THOROUGHLY!
