But of course not! Surely you don't think that I'm going to allow evidence to get in the way of my vaunted opinion? And just when are Books going to edited to catch up with my reality, that's what I want to know!?!
Again apologies as I want to reference the evidence (
Essex, you wouldn't want to post the entire LOTR, would you?

), but as I can't, my arguments are more thin than I desire and y'all deserve.
Anyway, in regards to the wise men's conversation: When Denethor accuses Gandalf of being overmatched, this is not a statement based on data but just a taunt/insult as the WK and Gandalf the White have not yet met - as Denethor may well know. So this (to me) would not support either case.
Thanks
Essex. Regarding EA ROTK, I'm too embarassed to say. My main problems are lack of time and finger agility. I've read a bunch of walkthroughs but they haven't helped as I 'know' what to do but just can't get there. Cheats codes (just so I could see every level and all of the movies) are available as soon as I finish the game, so they're no help.
