Yehaw! Am I correct in believing that I have found a person that shares my love for the smallest, yet greatest race in all of Middle Earth? In other words: do love Dwarves like I do?

Exactely, never trust and Elf and never underestimate a Dwarf!

Funny that you should mention that, I was reading the Silmarillion today and I came across an interesting paragraph that describes how hardy the Dwarves are made.

Just thought that this might be of interest to all of those Elf fans who think that Dwarves are no match for the Noldor.
