Damn straight it will! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> It is vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace; but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God -- I know not what course others may take; but as for me -- give me Tolkien or give me death!" <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That summarizes my opinion on the matter. Tolkien will ALWAYS survive.
