   Yes, Dirk, I did get that, but I thought that rather than changing the   
   subject line it would be neater to actually report what Letter 183 said, not   
   least since I had completely forgotten it myself. It's a very long thread by   
   now; the beginning of it is gone, at least from my newsreader.   
     However, I (and no doubt also Baron Bogusz) will try to rememebr to trade   
   inszults under a new subject line. Fair deal?   
      
   Ob Tolkien: What do you think of Tolkien's claim that LotR was actually   
   about "the real world"?
