Re: we have consensus...

By the way, this general topic happened to come up at Fingolfin's board a couple of weeks ago. So that I am perfectly clear (R. Nixon, 1973) and have made full disclosure (O. North, c. 1985), in that thread I stated that the Sil. and HoME are the best we're going to get and no author that I know of is qualified to undertake a rewrite of the Sil. In the legal profession, this is known as a prior inconsistent statement.

I make this disclosure so that I do not later get caught with my pants down (B. Clinton,199<img src=cool.gif ALT="8)"> . Besides, the idea of presenting some of the most controversial topics from Middle Earth and trying to reach consensus in the face of withering criticism sounds like...... well, it sounds like Dagor Bragollach....... but it also sounds like fun. Lets have at it!
