I've been following along silently with this discussion, intrigued at how the same topic can take different shapes with different posters. But finallyI feel compelled to join in with an historical observation.

You know, it wasn't so long ago that people complained Tolkien had dumbed down his sources of inspiration.

And, yes, Viriginia, there is a point here about interpretation.
