How old did Faramir live to be?

I hope you didn't take my post in a mean way, because "MatthewM and his little problem" strikes me as a negative throw at me. I didn't mean any offense, at any rate.

And it wasn't a problem, by the way. It's called a question.

No I didn't mean you at all, sorry if It came of that way.

Yes it's a question, but you don't have the answer and you are looking for assistance becuse you can't find it, so I think you could also say it's a small or little problem.

In retrospect maybe I should have pm'd one of the mods about this, but it's a little late for that now.

My friend, it's a question, it isn't a problem. My life would not have been affected if I did or did not learn of Faramir's death date.

I think the problem is... Both of you are using a the word problem in a different way. Beleg mean problem as in a math question, which is often if not always called a math problem. MatthewM is thinking of a problem in the more complex/dangerous way.

Of course, I am just jumping to conclusions over what you think, and also I am butting into a conversation, but I didn't want either of you to think badly of eachother, so I felt it my duty to explain, since I thought I might have the answer to the question.

It seems the Downers have the special and interesting ability of changing any thread, no matter how banal the topic is, into a real discussion...

[Finduilas]

Well, MatthewMs first question was answered, so why not?

Because soon the Chat Skrewl will bear down upon us!

As for the Downers' ability, it is because they are intelligent and have a lot of time on their hands...
