Thank you for the detailed answer [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
But (I’m not sure if this is on-topic here), sometimes there are discussions that go off into something not really Tolkien related, but still serious, but are not closed. For example, there is a thread called “Tolkien and Killing?” which sort of veers on and off topic. When it is off topic it is a really interesting discussion, and I check whether anybody’s posted on it every 10 minutes or so, but I doubt that what is being discussed has anything to do with Tolkien just now. It does come back to Tolkien in every post or two, but seems more related to other things. That was more the type of thing I meant than a thread that just changes topics a bit.
