Goes to show what a popular movie can do, Thingol. Especially a good one. What we have now is a lot of new excited aficianados that are still in their first stages of appreciation of the master's works. It's all part of the ebb and flow and we owe Peter Jackson thanks (whether heartfelt or sarcastic, depending on your point of view) for the latest influx of Tolkien lovers. As for me, I've been a Hobbit lover since 1968. I'd have found this site sooner except I didn't have internet...
