I have been reading the forum here for some time now. I find the discussions mostly intriguing. The depth of knowledge and opinions is wonderful. I have found few around me that have as much fasination with Tolkien as I. I doubt I am not certain that I will be able to add much value to the discussions but I will certainly continue to enjoy reading them.
Hope I didnt go too overboard in introducing myself.

Surely you didn't. That was not a too long introduction by any standards - there are many much longer, for example my own way back in 2004.

Anyway, welcome to the ranks of the dead, Hugo!
