   Yes, that would be more appropriate.   
      
   OTOH, considering that this is the first actual discussion on either   
   of alt.fan.tolkien or rec.arts.books.tolkien, and that "alt" groups   
   tend to be be rather ... unrestricted ... in what can be discussed, it   
   might be better to keep it here and see if it recovers.   
      
   Nice try at diverting it to alt.timewasters, though. How did you   
   expect the participants to find it there?
