Favorite character &amp; favorite board

My favorite character is Frodo (which should be rather obvious from my name) because even though he was &quot;just&quot; a hobbit, he chose to do something amazingly heroic and grew enough in the process to understand the depth of Saruman's fall. And he must have been a pretty terrific guy because Sam, Merry and Pippin all chose to face incredible evil because they were his friends.

Regarding the theme of this board, I too was initially a put off (indeed creeped out) when I saw the &quot;newly deceased&quot; under my name. However, I've never found any board on any subject where the posts are also always intelligent and articulate and exchanges are civil and thoughtful -- even where there is disagreement. Maybe it's because seeing yourself listed as &quot;newly deceased&quot; subconsciously gives a bit of perspective....
