I do not intend to be snippy, nor does burrahobbit, but I will let him speak for himself.

His responses might appear that way because he is concise.

My responses might appear that way because I take the time to address all questions and/or false notions. I don't mean to offend anyone ever. That's not what any of us are here for, is it?

Diamond18 - I agree. It's such a shame that we have only an incomplete portion of such a great work. At least we can be thankful he left enough behind and shared thoughts with Christopher that we may have what has been published. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

elvenchristian - where were we rude? We only negate opinions with actual facts given to us by the author. Such issues are addressed in Unfinished Tales and the History of Middle-earth.

When Tolkien says Fingolfin has dark hair, and your opinion is that he had blonde hair, how can you hope to be right? We're simply teaching the misguided. We wouldn't make up quotes. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
