Marilea, that's such a basic topic - we could talk that one out in two seconds as opposed to doing really deep stuff like spamming the cr*p out of once-interesting threads. (I'm kidding! I'm kidding!) Actually I just bought the Silmarillion the other day, so far I've only read the tale of Beren and Luthien but intend to finish it as quickly as may be so I can finally develop opinions on topics like these. Reading those threads is sort of like listening to a language you don't fully know - it sends you back to your grammars and vocabulary books so you'll be able to join in.

Lush, I don't know about moral police...but I'm with you all the way. I didn't spend the weekend in the company of green bottles but after being dragged around by a couple of aunts for nine solid hours yesterday doing wedding shopping, I could really, really have used a few. I still needed the Advil, though, unfortunately.
