<B>Aerandir Carnesir</B>, you're welcome .<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>A. It attracts far too much attention, thus preventing a single, defined discussion to take place.<P>B. It is drawn far too near to the discussion of morality, an empassioned debate, but one far too "personal" for the rules of this forum. Criticisms are bound to be made, taken the wrong way, and then become the base of ultimately unfruitful arguments.<P>C. Everyone knows that the Harry Potter versus Lord of the Rings debate is unwinable because Harry Potter is far more childish and post-modern, and deals with a completely different set of ideals than Lord of the Rings, which is a WWI veteran/Oxford Don's attempts at creating a complete mythology for pre-eleventh century Britan. (very drawn out, I know)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>Well said.
