I don't accept the hobbits as Men, even if Tolkien in some of his late
writings talked about their common ancestry. The foreword to LotR makes it
quite clear that they were a different speices, though near kin.

No. Narcissist is another word for cat. I should know. I have enjoyed
having cats - or they enjoyed having me.

And here I thought that it was agreed that Tolkien, when he spoke about
'us' in the prologue ('Hobbits are relatives of ours, far nearer to us
than Elves'), he was referring to 'the Big People' rather than to the
human race (the text does, after all, appear in the prologue, which is
written story-internally).
In any case I disagree that LotR -- prologue or story -- makes the
Hobbits a 'different species' any more than an African pygmy is a
different species from myself (I am not familiar with the correct
biological terms, but I'd say that LotR, to me, suggests that Hobbits
are a member of the Homo Sapiens -- perhaps not as close to me as a
pygmy, but not a different species).

Yup. :-) Frankly, I don't understand why Nautilus didn't go for it; you
could tell he was right on the trail.

It was down to Mim or Khim, really. :-) (had to be a named individual)
Damn my need to be in bed! I could have pounced instead!

There was Ibun, as well!
Of course, i could have chosen the Dwarves that killed Thingol for the
Nauglamir insteasd; hat migth have been more difficult. However, I think
M�m is an unusually touching portrait amd liked a to revisit a great episode
in the Sil (and CoH).

this one. :-)

Harumph! When I looked at the headers and saw that the thread continued on
a bit.. I was sure I was wrong. My first guess was Nim's ill fated son, but
I was too lazy to go look up his name - so I went with Nim.

Nevertheless, I think the rules of the game require a yes or no answer to
the question, as asked.
