Ten Grand Celebration

[Eruanna]

Iarwain, though, do we in fact want to celebrate a deluge of such members?

Gwaihir, do you mean "a deluge of such numbers?" which I agree, could pose a problem for the mods for a while.
Or, "such members"...and here I admit the emphasis is mine, but you seem to imply that members who are brought to the Barrow Downs because of the movies are somehow undesirable.
I have been a Tolkien reader for many years; but it was the movie of FotR that first brought me to this wonderful community.
I would be distressed if I thought that I, or any others who joined because they followed a link from a movie site were considered to be "not quite US"
