The blank post forum is a winner. Or perhaps one smiley (accompanied by a half-page signature and low-resolution graphic).

Anyway, I think we have scientifically proved beyond all doubt that the posts I like are definitely the best and most worthwhile, especially those written by me (and the people who like me). Obscurantism, prolixity and elitism rocks, dude [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

But seriously, can someone explain quickly what The Silmarillion is all about? And how come Elves don't get tired? And if female dwarves have heavy duty facial hair, then what about ... er, I think we all know where I'm going. Anyway, does Tom Bombadil keep the Entwives under his hat? Most importantly, the question that really bugs me - what did the music of the Ainur sound like ... was it kinda rocky and grand (new genre = R&G), you know, a la Wagner played by Spinal Tap, or was it more spiritual like the theme from Star Wars?

I aslo think good speeling is improtnat.
