Don't you just hate those people who back up their assertions with quotes from Tolkien's Letters and thereby kill a thread?

The quotes from Letters can be like the big Monty Python foot sometimes!
For some reason, for a while, I noticed that my own posts would kill a thread, especially if it was about Pippin. I think I hit the Twilight Zone with regards to Pippin sometimes and derail threads that way. I'm sure some of my ramblings on how Pippin was the Hand of Providence and it was fated that the wrong thing would turn out right if only Pippin had a hand in it irritated someone out there! Or how about the loosely conglomerated group of Frodophiles, of which I am one...they all seem to gather in certain threads and go on about how admirable Frodo is and jump on anyone who may say "nay!" (I am poking fun at myself yet again...)

Cheers!
