It has been four years, and I salute everyone involved in the creation and maintenance of this fine website. Though I myself have only been a member for just shy of a year, I have grown to really love this site and the discussions that take place on it. Just when you think that you have seen everything there is to discuss about Middle-earth, a relative newbie (I use the terms in the most respectful way, I assure you) like
Fordim Hedgethistle can come along and shake things up with a marvelous topic like
'Canonicity': The Book or The Reader.
Break out the Old Winyards and toast the Barrow-downs!
I wonder when we'll be able to start calling
The Barrow-Wight "the Old Gaffer"?
