Thank ye, dear fellow wights. Much appreciated.
As for reps, I believe there is something about being lost at Emyn Muil, but maybe that comes only later or I am just making it up.

Dear me, I have become so treeish here that I completely missed my 15th death day last month! I may neglect this site, life being what it is, but I will never forget it and the role it has played in my life. Why, right now I am writing a chapter for an upcoming book on Middle-earth and music!
Without the Downs, I would never have made so many friends in real life, both Downers and other fans with whom I came into contact because it all started here. I would not be a published author (non-fiction) and I would certainly not have learned so much about the internet and how to use at least some of it! My book shelves would be emptier and so would have been many delightful hours I spent discovering new aspects of Tolkien and his works. And I would not have travelled to some of the wonderful places I have seen, either visiting friends or seeing Middle-earthian sights. So here's to the Downs, which will be 17 years old soon - almost of age in modern human terms. May it live - oops! - moulder in peace for many years to come!

Happy D-Day, Esty! You really should come around more often (said the pot to the kettle).

Ten years here.
How appropriate they refer to it as a "death day", because obviously I don't have a life.  And it's true my death day was actually 6-4-17, but it has been said by many that I would be late for my own funeral.
