That is SO cool! Especially since I live in Boston, so I have to visit the site all the time for many purposes. I expect the Barrow Downs will be having a LOT more people join in soon...?

Wow, that's amazing! And I was thinking me and kittie were the only ones here who even knew about the Downs... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Izzy, you meant that you and I were the only ones who knew about the Downs in Boston, right? Because as you've probably told ME millions of times the Downs is known to exhist by many people...

That's quite an accolade, Mithadan. Many deserved Kudos to the Barrow Wight, yourself, and the other Administrations for creating and maintaining this site.
That New York Times Archive is also a valuable link to have. I have been trying to find Auden's review for some time, not with any strenuous effort mind you, but nonetheless with some interest. Thanks, Mithadan. An interesting statement about the genre which LOTR belongs to: Quote:

Thanks Mith! And you're right, B-Berry. The Times archive is a goldmine. I particularly like the 1967 Tolkien interview A Prevalence of Hobbits.
Hmmmmmm, now let's see if Lush can get us banned in Boston. Then we'll really know we've "made it". |

I'm just wondering how they got ahold of the name of the Barrow Downs over here, cause, I swear, there's nobody who knows about it here! (Except kittie and peony and myself [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]). I'm just wondering how they choose which sites to post... or does it have nothing to do with the state, and this is just US wide?
Confused, ~Menelien

I've always known that the BD is the best Tolkien site EVER, so of course we're listed.
