How? You can't just make up some other reproduction sceme. Not to mention Melkor couldn't create anything on his own...

Arnt orcs just spawned of alchemy from 'black pits?
I fear that here PJ is just as far off as Valinor is for a Mortal man. Is there anywhere I'm missing? Where did this 'spawning orc' theory come from. Granted, I'm just as weirded out by orc reproduction as the next guy, but I think 'spawning orcs' is just a by-product of other fantacy influence that go in more for the 'revolting evil creatures' model. But I've been wrong before.

Finally, I don't see much to elaborate on. Glorfindel, I understand, is the product of rethinking over a long period of time. Rethinking of the whole nature of Elves. I don't see how you can really screw up "son of".
