Legolas, as far as this thread goes, we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one since we are veering wildly off-topic. But, if you do want to continue this dicussion, I will be happy to do so on the
Canonicity thread, where we have been kicking this issue (and many others) round for some weeks now.
I do agree that, when one comes to a discussion board such as this, one should acknowledge Tolkien's further thoughts and interpretations on his own published works (assuming that one is aware of them), even if one does not accept them. And I also accept that one will be in some difficulty arguing one's case where the purpose of the thread is to discover Tolkien's intentions on a particular issue (although that need not necessarily be the purpose of a topic).
And, just to reiterate, I am inclined to agree with Tolkien that Legolas and Gimli reached Aman.
