My most embarrassing moment was in the Books forum, when I asked if the Seven Names of Gondolin were actually written down somewhere. It turned out that they are - in
The Book of Lost Tales 2, which I own and had
read not a month earlier! It seems I had turned more than one page at some point and missed the section. I felt quite the fool.
Feanor: that pun was terrible. Careful, or I'll get my friend Roger the Redundant to WOAW you.
