I left it up for discussion for that particular purpose, but asking what people have heard about something isn't the way to incite discussion - if you like "talking to people and hearing ideas and things from people," it would be more helpful if you posed questions, whether broad or specfic, that asked for thought instead of simply listing facts. Why not discuss Tolkien's different motives? Were you curious about any of the changes? What end made the most sense to you? Question his judgement, speculate as to why he abandoned some of these ideas, etc. Talking to people and hearing their ideas - that is what the forum is for. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
