I find it sad that someone has to use comments such as that to make their point known. Contrary to the point, I am not unfortunate in anyway. If you had taken the time to look, I am a history major. I doubt very seriously that I "believe" this really took place. What I am refering to, is that I wish the story had really "taken" place in a "make believe" world. I think it adds to the curiosity and the overall presence of the stories.

But within the context of Middle-Earth, I can see no reason to particularly want this story to be 'real'

Did it not occur to you that when I say such that I am not speaking of the "context"(make believe world) of middle earth as well? why assume that I do not? Your opinion is very well appreciated and its obvious you know more about Tolkiens works than I. I always read all of your posts because they are always insightful and usually correct. And you may very well be correct in this situation, but its not appreciated when you word it in the way you did.
