Sam.

Spock, when do you quotes as parts of your questions then could you give the actual quote instead of it 'in part', because sometimes there is no way of recognising it when it's only in part.

the above could have been sent via PM

Trivia (all threads) has been going on for so long and has but a few steadfast players, that I use "in part" to make questions a tiny, ittsy-bittsy, teeny weenie bit, harder. I always give enough of the quote that a fanatic trivia player will get the 'jist' of where in lays the actual and full quote. 'all the ususal suspects' get the answers 99% of the time.

Okay.

What were the exact words that Treebeard inserted into the 'old list'?

You know what, TD; I'll give it to you.

The why is because "to build a cairn required boulders" and the "labour would be hard and long and no stones nearer than the water-side.

Get the idea behind my sneeeeeeeeeeky question

U-GO.
