   But evidently, self-confidence is an excuse for absolute rudeness, as you   
   seem to enjoy demonstrating.   
      
   I thought this group would be a nice friendly place to discuss Tolkien's   
   writings. I guess not. Too many Saruman's and not enough Gandlaf's around in   
   this group.   
      
   Bye guys. It's just not that important to me. I'll leave you with one final   
   bit of wisdom.   
      
   It's only a book...
