hey just thought i would leave a note...i felt the same way when i first came to this forum! everyone seemed to have degrees in Tolkienology! but now iv read the book a few more times, seen the movie more too- as well as talked to alot of people on here which has made me see things more clearly than b4 or changed my views. (actually i think a lot of people are just bluffing! lol). But i still dont claim to fully understand his works, and i dont think anyone should. tolkiens probably the only 1 who ever could understand every detail 4 what its worth, and thats the way it should be.
