If you are laughing at my apparent noobiness (

) remember I was only thirteen when that was posted, I had not read LOTR for a year and didn't know anything about the Silmarillion. AND it was my first time on an internet forum. I then proceeded to get the Sil and take a bit of time off to get out of the whole Runescape-talk rut.

But STILL... Jeez...

I can't even remember where I first posted. It was somewhere in the Quiz forum I believe. I didn't actually find the Introduce Yourself thread until nearly two months after I joined and when I did post on there it was just to welcome a friend!

I strongly suspect that my first post probably consisted of me asking for a letter in Palantir of Fortune ... not the most attention-getting of starts!

My first post was on Anguirel's Il Principe-thread (here 's my post). The first to greet me was also the first to rep me, which was very nice of that person.

I think the thread would also deserve a little revival. *hints*

I introduced myself some days later here (just a few posts before Sixth's introduction).

My first thread was at the same time also my first encounter with the whips of the knowledgable members.

I take it the thread was deleted?

Nope, Mac mistyped it - he wrote twice http there in the link. The thread is here. Quite interesting, I might add.

My hero!

I see it now! Thank you Legate.

My goodness, I've never seen that side of Anguirel before...

The discussion of the "historical accuracy" of the Silm and whether to dismiss a passage from it more or less readily than "bleak factual marginalia" was quite interesting; ah, yeah, there's probably already a thread where it's been all hashed to death years ago, though.

Macalaure, you shouldn't act so sheepish, dear. Sheepish deer?

It looks like you won the argument, after all, at least by default...a year and no one's responded to your last point!
