Re: New Silmarillion

Hmmmmmmm. Go off line for a few hours and look what happens. Saulotus, what exactly was the point behind the long post with quotes from Dunadain's Camp? It somehow didn't seem to be in context with deciding on canon scope and format. Am I missing something?

BTW, I'm not prepared to debate the length of a Valian year. I recall reading what you and MM were referring to but don't recall the upshot of CT's analysis of JRRT's notes (not that CT is absolutely authoritative, if he were we wouldn't be talking about a canon).
