"I think Lindil was quoting me."
yea

" Though doubtlessly he has a particular reference to HoME which he may have in mind."
nay - just a mess of unmarked generalizations in my head which you summed up v. well.

Tar Elenion re: using UT/HoMe variants [disputed or otherwise] here to support or refute a point is fine [just , as you do ] name that it is UT/HoME [ I think that is the protocol I read way back somewhere] . The discussion of a particular theory[ such asCelebrombor's parentage ] does not have to take place there, most especially if it comes up in the course of a Non - Canon thread.
btw I was thinking of moving the very interesting Peredhil thread over here for that very reason.

I n addition I have been wondering if you would be interested in attempting an essay or list of the Final forms of the genealogy of the Eldarin princes [w/a wee bit of documenting as to what the sources are] this could have the dual purpose of stimulating discussion of HoME stuff here at 'the books' and would also be a great service to the Silm Proj. [which you expressed qualified interest in -just anidea-you don't have to take it too seriously]
[normally I would ask something like this via email , but your email link is not activated under the personal profile options] sorry for the long exscursion<img src=smile.gif ALT="

Re: the life - extending properties - they were [in part- leaving's Sauron's will and power aside] it seems a strange example of what would happen to evil elves [fading ]or men if they were given the coveted eternal life. It was a prison , and one can see how the Elves might indeed envy Men who were free from a possibility [other than the rings] of such fading. Instead upon dying passing into Eru's direct care, judgement or realm if you will.
Just a thought.

Lindil is often found on posting on the New Silmarillion Canon Forum at the Barrowdowns discussion board. 'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.' </p>
