Hey, which people?

If you have read this thread, then certainly not me. For surely at least ten years, I have had a fee opinion that Arien was a Maia of Varda and the Balrogs were also Maiar of Varda. As you can see, from some Yesterday 03:25 PM my beliefs were shaken in their very basis. But you can hardly blame me for developing a misled opinion in my 10 (if you think you are without sin, you may first cast the stone... ).
