Bill Ferny, I was thinking the exact same things as I made my way through the posts! I'm glad you wrote it all out and spared me the trouble. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] This was Tolkien's world...he could mix and match however he liked.

This all reminds me a bit of the beginning of William Goldman's "The Princess Bride" where he repeatedly says things like, "This was before that" or "This was after that". "This" being the story, of course. Like porridge..."This was after porridge, but then again everything is."
