Welcome to the Downs,
Smaug's voice! I share your opinion of The Sil and COH. I also love them both above the other works of JRRT that I've read. (And I haven't read much of the additional material either)

We may disagree on that, but I would respect a good friendly opposition

So once again, welcome to the Downs!
