oh my -- so deep a topic that i think i'm going to need a Dwarven Mining team to excavate me out of here, not to mention what a wonderful "character" we have gracing this thread in Gandalf ( |_|) <-- this mug's for you, and it's better than Barliman's)

Not really much that i could disagree with here, and while there's a side of me that is moved to add a lusty "Huzzah" to the summary judgement of large segments of O.B.'s fan club, its conscience would remind it that there by the grace of Iluvatar it too once went. (though it be 25 years on, that sort of thing does keep one humble)

Hey, if it keeps the genre alive, and even revitalizes it for another generation or three, can't see how that could be a bad thing.

s.t.

(now where's that Dwarven Rescue Team? Good thing i've got lots of beer to provision me while i wait...)
