Definitely slow. Perhaps what we need is another CbC thread - or even a 'Canonicity'
That said, I'm not sure I'm up for a Silmarillion CbC at the moment.
Personally, I'm blank at the moment as far as thread ideas go. Of course, we've all read too much, haven't we? We can now answer any question about Tolkien's work & intentions straight off - someone will quote from the Letters, or HoM-e.
Don't you sometimes wish we could go back to when we just had LotR & TH & we could speculate on all kinds of possibilities & offer our own theories?
Of course, I recently started a thread on that ...
