And I guess "officially" I've been here an even shorter time...I lurked for a LONG time before joining. Took all the LOTR stuff that started appearing to flush me out and make me decide to join!

I can see that by your join date. The pre-movie debate and anticipation was in full swing then!

If I had joined later I likely would have picked a LoTR screen name. Asfoloth, maybe, or Arwen.... Now THAT would have changed my image! 'Specially in the middle of the anti-feminist Arwen-role paranoia!

Me too. It was the Hobbit Hole that successfully tempted me to join up.
