Dear Jan, I asked Pearl in a similar comment above, if she wasn't "Di" ("Diamond of Long Cleve")at TORC, who originated a wonderful, pithy thread called, "Di's Heartfelt Plea". The plea was directed to the Jackson/Walsh/Boyens writing team, asking them to cease the ruination of Frodo's role, already evident in FOTR (Di's plea went unheeded, as was later seen).
Reading your discussion again with Pearl made me think of the golden days of that Tolkien messageboard with an appreciative sigh. What discussions were had there, many of them so passionate and in-depth I mostly read rather than participated, too much of a newbie. This exchange you had with Pearl could have been one of them.
I wanted to thank both of you for this discussion. It was a very great pleasure to follow.
