An after thought for all you incredibly talented posters. It is good to post anywhere you like and I am grateful for it. I might suggest that when you get the chance that you might look at old threads that are thought provoking, especially any with Val our returning mariner, and especially those which dear Grondmaster participated in, he really knew his stuff. And never ever forget our Vir, boy back in the day when he seemed to have more time, he gave EVERY one a run for his or her money. Some hit the 'books' as it were to just try and prove him wrong. !

Well thank you! I didn't even know we had posts of the week until recently.

Or if I did I forgot  and thanks for the PM too (which is how I knew about this thread)

Congrats, Galin! Your posts are a pleasure for the eyes indeed (and those parts of the brain which are responsible for reading! haha!).

Congratulations Galin! I think that there are many people here who knows millions of things about Tolkien books but probably you are the best informed person in PT. When someone studies or cares for something like you do, it's because they love what they are doing. So you love Tolkien work and bring details that are not easy to find. Thank you!
