Thirded! Happy deathday, Legate, rest in peace and may the Fff-, er, Flame of Anor always be with you! Thank you for the story of your first visit to the Downs - the subject of your query strikes me as characteristic of both yourself and the forum, which has always been a good place to explore the spiritual and philosophical ramifications of Tolkien's legendarium. I also took the time to dig up your old trhead about Saruman's interest in the Shire and couldn't help smiling at the discussion of Saruman's smoking habit, which reminded me of my own first post here, answering a riddle of yours about this very subject.
Belated condolences also to G55, sally, Nerwen and Agan (how could I have missed this  ?)!

Hail Legate, the guest of Galadriel in Lothlorien. Hail Legate, who passes beneath the Argonath. Hail Legate, who shall be... I don't know what's the next reputation level, and couldn't find it anywhere. Well, that wasn't a very good prophecy, was it?

Thank ye, dear fellow wights. Much appreciated.
As for reps, I believe there is something about being lost at Emyn Muil, but maybe that comes only later or I am just making it up.
