This isn’t so much of a question as an update on previous GQ threads on the Voynich MS. The most recent such thread here was this one. Mods, please feel free to move this if appropriate.

I’m not an aficionado, but nevertheless, I’m interested to know about this new study (especially since the scam hypothesis, always seemed the most likely to me and I like being right ).
By the way, where are we suposed to post such threads (I mean new informations about some topic commonly debated on this board)? It’s not a question, nor a debate, just infos. So, is the GQ board the most apropriate in this case? I can’t think of another one but perhaps the mods would think otherwise…
