Was Bilbo Over-rated?

[Maethorien]

I agree that Bilbo's poetry is one of the main reasons he is so respected. Not only did he preform all of the previously mentioned feats, which are particularly great because he was a Hobbit (Not to sound prejudiced against Hobbits- I simply mean that few Hobbits adventure, so few could accomplish what Bilbo did.), he also exhibited great prowess in the arts of language and music, which are esteemed by the Elves.

In short, I agree with just about everyone.
