Balrogs, etc

'Bob':
Aiwendil asked many of the questions I would have so I won't bother restating them, though some of your replies seem a bit 'vague'. A little more explication might be in order.

re: A.K.
I think he probably would still maintain his position (which has some valid (if, IMO, unsupportable (in fuller context)) points).

Aiwendil:
Conrad Dunkerson has done some 'essays' about Balrogs (well researched and with citation and quotes) in the newsgroups (rec.arts.books.tolkien), entitled 'The Truth about Balrogs'. in Parts 1-6. If you are interested in reading them they can likely be found by 'searching' the newsgroup from 'google'.
