Nice summmary Findegil. I have come to have ever-greater respect for CJRT's version, even though he berates himself over it. The seemingly intractable problems resulting from the need to 'lure' Thingol out of Doriath with no manuscript tradition for it, the bizareeness of asking the Elves for help to move the treasure to Doriath and THEN insulting Thingol with it, along with the incompatibility of the Q30 and the Wanderings make it a quagmire. The one thing I wish CJRT would have done would be to accomadate the Wanderings more. Still all in all, his father left him lemons and he made lemonaide.
