** General Comments on the Project & Sign Up Thread ** - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hello. I am new here and very interested in this project. I have attempted on several occasions to compile a similar project (in a much more limited form) of my own.

I am not sure what I will be able to contribute. After having read through a few of the threads, a lot of the discussion seems a bit beyond me, despite having read through The Silmarillion and UT more times than I can count and HoME at least three or four times (I'm on another read-through of everything now). I am also currently in the middle of PhD work of my own, so my scholarly chops are exhausted after working with that research.

Those caveats aside, I would be happy to assist in any way I can, and am interested in staying up to date on the discussion even where I have nothing useful to add.
