I stand corrected, and now I agree with you that it seems that the WW's had nothing to do with the Hobbit, though, I believe, not unthinkable.

As for the 'longer childhood', you said about the same thing as I did in my first post though in other words.

I would take my hat of and bow to you, SoAD, if only I had a hat. I just bow!
