I taught a non-credit course on Tolkien a few years ago -- if you would like I could run it again as an online course, for Downers only. I mean, really, let's face it, you all really could learn a lot from me. And wouldn't it be great to sit at your computer screen in rapt attention for hour after hour of Professor Fordim telling you about Tolkien and LotR and resolving all your questions about it? Oh, but I forget, you already have that luxury...

Creeping back to my barrow now. Please, do not throw objects either too heavy or too sharp.

Sounds like your Barrow Downs Dream , Fordim. However, given the attitude of some of our Downers, I would hope that none of your students in their misery over your 1500 word assignment on "Canonicity and Forgiveness: Primary and Secondary World Creation" would think of--as they have of their other professors and assignments--assigning you to Mordor .
