new :-)
Hello all! I'm about 5 minutes old here (i.e. new). I actually stumbled on the site trying to find whereabouts a quote I was looking for in The Fellowship of the Ring was for a paper I'm writing. Fortunately, I found both the quote and a rather intriguing looking site Well, lets see... a name might be nice, right? Name's Sean, and it's a pleasure to be here. Oh, and iffin anyone's interested in anything Celtic in Tolkien's work, I may or may not have a thesis worth of stuff to tell you

Midge has a good point. However, I doubt it matters to Inked

I happened to notice that Entmoot has just got its 10,000th registrered user account
Well, officially the board has almost 3,600 members but it's a fact that user accounts n:o 9,999 and 9,999 belong to two of our newest members; elrosofbc2010 and Deagol. Welcome to the board, both of you Check out their profiles and numbers: http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/member.php?u=9998 http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/member.php?u=9999 Account numbers 10,000 and 10,001 seem invalid, however numbers 10,002 to 10,004 exist since a couple of days. Unfortunately they seem to probably belong to spambots of sorts.

Yeah, we have a lot of spambots lately. I've been deleting them almost weekly. Very sad no real person managed to get account 10.000.

It's an honors thesis for my English major at Boston College. The proper title would be "Fog on the Barrow Downs: Celtic Roots of Tolkien's Mythology." Just turned the monster in Monday, and boy let me tell you, it is nice to be done!

I would like to announce my intention of returning to Entmoot in greater increments over the next several months.

I may be off the Moot for some days. My aunt - whom I mentioned in the Prayer Request thread a couple of weeks ago - is very ill now. The doctor said she might last as little as a couple of days. It might be more than that, of course, - but probably not very much more. So I won't be online as much for a while.
See you later.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Will keep praying for her and your family.
