I think your response was excellent.

Especially this part? ;^)

There are people there that are much more knowledgeable about Tolkien than myself.

BTW, you have mail.

Yeah, that part. I'd put myself in the same category as you. (Caught your mail, thanks)

You probably have to write it out by hand! - We didn't have typos back then.

I have old papers that were written longhand... I have really nice printing so I didn't type them. I hated typewriters, capable of ruining a whole page of work in the very last line.

Thanks for the books HOTD. I posted them over at TNS. I pinged you as a courtesy, so you don't need to go over there if you don't want.

have=had

See... that stuff didn't happen then.

I have, just outside, walking on my window screen, the largest bee I have ever seen. Must be a queen, probably searching out new places to build her own empire. She is as big as a bird I tell you!

I'm here too, but I'm distracted this afternoon...wonder why? ;-)

Must be that thing that's going around. Affects only Tolkien fans.

Actually I got a typewriter for my high school graduation. You know one with a carbon ribbon...
