   Well, the *topic* was that Jackson's Dwarves are smarter Dwarves. The   
   divergence between a summary of the book and movies were a diversion   
   from the topic :-D   
      
   On a side note, what's up with the slashes for emphasis? Where did you   
   pick that up? I don't mind it, just curious. You seem to use it both   
   for emphasis and quoting.
