Hi Rob, you wrote:

So did I, except mine is only  IMO, I do not believe  in humility :-). So as 
you see, I take the discussion as a duel;that makes  it more interesting.  
Of course I am fighting only ideas, never persons.

That's what I  hoped for - this st should be brainstorming device,  where 
all new ideas should be taken first as possible, and worth investigating.
If there are objections, they could be saved for later date - we should 
look for good points first.
As for "Ruggism", I coin the phrase to all simplified  solutions that go 
nowhere. Take Rugg for  instance, if we accept the Vm is ginbberish, 
"ruggish", we should all go and play with somethin g else.
 The same applies if we accept the VM is the 
work of madman or result of migraines - there is nothing too much to learn from 
 it. Those "theories" have another drawback,  too: one can never  prove 
them :-).  So far nothing convinced me we should take such an easy way out. 
Of course we  can only fight defeatism with facts and encourage 
those who are  really trying, that's my point.

But we all  have to assume a lot if we want to  move forward :-).  Besides,  
 I do not see in Robert's work anything of the sort of  say 
Voynich's cat and as I remember, that was taken very seriously.
