I will throw my 2 cents in only because this idea has been brought to my attention time and again as of late here at the Downs...

In the begining, when Burrahobbit, myself, and a few dozen other souls began congregating here, the sole focus was Tolkien discussion.

Now, as this thread [and many others] proves, the Downs itself, especially it's higher profile members are often the topic.

This strange, but I suppose predictable eveent, in a way has made of the downs a microcosm, or more aptly, a small little realm, and in this realm, we do have a King.

So while I may in some ways, lament the pre-occupation with the Downs itself [and I have been guilty of it, though rather fascinated at times] I must confess that just as in the Legendarium there is a hierarchy, so to we have one here.

Though I agree in the end, it is only the quality of the ideas/post that counts.
