I think that a group of Ringies would be the BEST thing EVER. I LOOOOVE the Lord of the Rings. My parents actually tought me to read by The Hobbit (sort of). When the movies came out I LOVED them. They are close to perfect minus the extracted scenes. If the movies is what it takes to get a group of Ringies started then so-be-it! AND, if the average movie-goer likes Lord of the Rings then how awesome is that? Those of you who have stopped enjoying the series because now the "ignorant" can enjoy it as well are acting selfish and snobbish (no offense, honestly). I am so excited at the idea of "Ringies" I can't stand it. Being able to wear cloaks and elf ears in public with people understanding who you are is so overwhelmingly (word?) fantastic!!<P>Does anyone else feel this way?
