Re: Sure is quiet down here.........

I believe it is www.fingolfin.com. Use the &quot;lite&quot; version, its a slow loader (and a slow, as in not very active, board). Sorry Chief Barrow Wight, but he asked. Definitely not a plug, I like it here much better.

The posts I referred to are spread over 2 or 3 threads. Their focus was not upon &quot;canon&quot; specifically, though at least one person used the term. Having also read HoME 10-12, I understand your position and have similar sympathies myself. However, this is a major undertaking and without sufficient support we may be better off posting on the books board. We need to generate some interest. Consider that some visitors may not be scrolling down to look at the bottom of the boards page. If we go back up to the main board, a few more people may jump on the bandwagon. At the very least, this would allow us to get a better view of public opinion, pro or con.

Another option would be to incorporate some or all of this project into the encyclopedia.

BTW - I agree that The Silm. as published is little more than a synopsis. I posted that very sentiment on MM's board months ago, shortly after reading JRRT's letter to Unwin where he estimated that the Silm. &quot;was&quot; longer than LoTR. There is much to fill in/reconcile/expand.
