Thread is, naturally, dead, for there is nothing more to speculate about, but, well, is the end of discussion mere discussion, or possible discovery of some new information/truth?
Ah, HI, ever the embodiment of the little joke I was having! Can we say "Canonicity?" I do enjoy those quotes from Letters actually, but, as you say, there are truths to be uncovered and the 'letter' itself leaves off at Tolkien's mechanism of subcreation rather than the effect on the reader.

I hope I didn't sound like I was complaining!
Cheers!
Lyta
