I don't know you well,
Boro /
Kent, but I've much enjoyed interacting with you as both. As someone who has always physically given the impression of being much younger than I am, I can somewhat empathize.
However, here at the Downs, I've never doubted there are younger members here who can run rings around me with their general wealth of Tolkien knowledge (and ruthless skullduggery at WW

).
I suppose all I have left to say is that I believe any fears you may have had about people not taking you seriously because of youth were completely groundless.
Your posts speak for themselves.
