Ah! All was so peaceful and calm and now Morthoron has freaked me out with that!
Interesting figure of speech to say the least...
I must agree with the many posters here that the intelectual level of the forums plays a key part in its popularity amongst us members. I too am member of some other communities, all however by far not as nice as the Downs, simply because you are only able to talk on a certain level. The BD just takes it to a whole new level, just by looking at a random discussion in the Books thread it becomes clear why.
