 On another note, I was somewhat disappointed this morning that there was
 little comment on the public list about the graphic I posted, yet I received
 six direct off list expressions of interest.  When I checked the hit log for
 the site at which I posted the graphic, there are a rather large number of
 hits and several folks crawled the images directory (there were no other
 related images there, only my second grade sons photos for a web page media
 project, although I will pull together some other examples and post them as
 there seems to be interest).  This makes me wonder if this list is truly a
 good way to solicit honest public feedback.  I was hoping maybe even three
 or four folks might say I see no similarity there other than what I see
 elsewhere in the manuscript and I believe you are chasing cloud bunnies, or
 an opinion that yes, it looks somewhat interesting to me.  There was nothing
 like that on the public list, and even Nick, whose comment resulted in the
 post, didn't directly opine afterward? Was this politeness Nick?  I can take
 anyone's honest opinion on the issue, and would welcome opinions that cut
 off an avenue of effort I am chasing. Yet off the list I got comments
 pointing out in my color markings I left out more similarities like the "am"
 form or even the whole word after "ocar"...  Or suggestions that applying a
 fuzzy analysis to the EVA transcript does turn up larger phrases.  What
 gives?

 For what it's worth...WLD

Jeeze WLD :-) (give me some time here (ha.ha))

I just got BOTH of your mails today, I'm assuming your talking about 
your color 'underlined' two seperate pages for cross-comparison?? 
I will only apologies for myself, but I don't sit on the computer 
all-day anymore... (tried that for 7-8 yrs and got a big clout filled 
left leg, that doc says will come off if i don't move it daily), 
ANYWAY I ALSO use a mail reader here, (PINE), that doesn't support 
graphics (for spam reasons), so I sent your ~little visited?~ website 
addy to my wifes computer... she uses MS (ugghh) for viewing... I'm 
hoping to be totally amazed by your multi-colored _underlined_ 
assesments, but just going through the mail here (from yesterday & now 
today) I've not even had a chance to VIEW IT YET!!  (oh the ~seeing~ 
of bunnies in the cloud on this list is OK... IF you can truly show 
something that the others haven't or cannot shoot down!?
 The list is ~Blessed~ with many a unique minds, and I suspect many 
participate (if only on the weekends) as a hobby, side-interest or 
when they have time?? D*rN those day jobs anyway! (ha.ha) 

Well, in about 30 minutes from now I'm off to the other computer to 
*SEE* your reference(s)... IF I have something to say, I will say it, 
IF I don't understand it or disagree I probable won't say anything :-o
Don't take it personally, I'm one of the ~dummies of the list~.

I started from the TOP down, instead of from the BOTTOM up etc.. 

I would suggest(?) if I might, that you give this list (and it's 'open 
to all - membership ) consideration of a vms Supreme Court. It has 
been my experience that the incoming will either leave or be shot down 
in their own right, while the questionable (to the open-minded 
members) will have to pass the ~mustard~, as it were.  EVERYONE has an 
idea here, everyone is ~searching~. Coders, Linguist, Treasure 
hunters, male / female, young and old alike. I guess I'm just trying 
to say "Patience"... and IF you are not heard, or wonder if your idea 
even got through, YOU CAN USE ALL CAPitols (He.he), which most members 
will 
probably say ~shhh or yes yes - we saw/heard you!~ as they boil and 
formulate the big picture. 
 
p.s. after 30 minutes here (after reviewing your page)... I plan to go 
outside and walk this ~stupid LEFT leg~ of mine... I promise you, I 
will ~churn~ whatever I find over in my meer brain here. 

I do LOVE "anything" voynich related... many are over my head here, 
but the chase is ON and will be until ~cracked~!! (period).

This is not just to you (nothing personal), but archived for all who 
*see* the vms for the first time and SEE IT!  There is ~muster to 
pass~ and this is a fine list if you can do it!  Many will provide 
guidence many will ~curse & howl~ most remain behind the scenes,(I 
know whoo Yoo Arr (!)) 
putting the pieces _slowly_ together for themselves... expect a 2-3 
week window for good ideas to fully ~bloom~ as it were. (?)

best to you & yours
-=se=-
steve (folding the vms) ekwall :-)

p.s.s. If someone (maybe two) would fully shot down my ~folding the 
vms idea~ I would leave the list and let you all play on, but it must 
have been important or I wouldn't have been ~touched~ by it.. 

Good day all :-)
