Dunno - maybe the easiest would be for Jonathan and Ted to re-name the site into "fuck-a-certain-author's-estate" or so. :LMAO: Not that they would, of course... As to the logo looking "similar" - well, that could be a long trial to determine whether it can be mixed up or not, I...

TH , sorry about mis-quoting you. So... now what will they have to do? Complying with the scary letter seems the cheapest option. I have to say, I really am irked by the Estate's bullying a small website that has done nothing but helped them generate profit. I do understand the legal reasoning, I j...

What Holbytla said. Just curious, does the copyright owner have to show any sort of damages before they can press the claim? Surely the estate has benefitted from the existence of TORC. How many peple first heard about Silmarillion or Unfinished Tales on that site? :scratch EDIT: truehobbit , I rath...

I've no clue about who wrote this, but there seem to be too many inaccuracies for this to be written by the author. This part I find amusing for some reason. Frodo and his companions of the Ring have entered the ghastly land of Mordor where Sauron guards the Fire in which the Ring of Power was forge...

* wakes up with a start *

Does anybody know what happened to Saradoc? He was one of the m00bies and b00kies whose posts I always enjoyed, and he hasn't been on TORC since mid-February, if the Last Visited date is to be believed.

Look at you two! I do declare, this thread made my day brighter. So nice to know that two wonderful people are happy together, somewhere half a world away.

Griff, you look fahbulous, absolutely great with short hair.

I only joined b77 because I figured that the purpose was still in its inception and would come about later. Also, I was a bit surprised and kind of flattered that anyone would even invite me. [tangent] IKWYM - surprised and flattered was exactly how I felt. :) As for the purpose - for me that was t...

TED, I agree with your reasoning entirely, and would've voted that way if mission statement were #1 instead of being #4. I do think, however, that at first most of our new members would be TORCers or friends of b77ers, whatever we do. That might be a good thing, as it will give us time to adjust to ...

I am HOW late?

Happy Birthday Vison!

I don't know you half as well as I would like :P but I'm glad that I got the chance to get to know you.

:cheers

Doing it Frelga's way makes 31,5 minutes per week. [...] Besides, every third day, when I did it, I've got a great feeling of having something achieved. :D 90 seconds is toilet, sink and mirror, including getting DH's shaving things off the sink and onto the shelf where they belong. Toilet alone is...

My friend who has adopted her two (partially deaf) Korean sons has contacted the local Korean community here, and tried to become involved in it... she has had a Korean women come to her home on a regular basis, to educate the boys about their cultural heritage. Similarly, a Jewish family in my son...

Thanks, Riverthalos, that was very illumnating.

BTW, some pesticides are also classified as possible/probable neurotoxins. :Q

I knew I should've stayed out of this thread. :( laureanna , how could you possibly think I was referring to you, no matter how poorly worded my post was? I know you are especially vulnerable right now, and I am deeply sorry to have added to your sorrow, even inadvertently. Not only was I not referr...

13 years or 14 years seem very young to us, but in fact they are the common ages for marriage, and for childbearing, for most of our history. Women of that age have routinely borne children. It's just that we don't like it now. Well, yes, they did, but I am not convinced that it means that they wer...

TH , may I say that I'm very relieved that you didn't take my (clumsily worded) post personally. It's the most wondrous thing about b77 that we can express and discuss diverging views with goodwill and intelligence, and I hope we can preserve that. I think I am in agreement with you, if "we&qu...

Dunno yet whether it's good or bad but I sure wouldn't enjoy the sort of cliched movie that that critic expects to be served up to him. Just what I was thinking as I read the review. The reviewer seems mostly disappointed that not all Muslims were shown to be bloodthirsty villains. FWIW, Saladin do...

Long before that, surely, Axordil . On a complete tangent, a book I read mentioned that it was a common practice in Middle Ages for priests to perform marriages with the bride's pre-wedlock child (a child, not a pregnant belly) concealed under her skirts. After the ceremony, the child would come out...

I agree, yovargas . But is the closed board what we are? Err... OK, so it is. Let me rephrase it. Is the closed board what we want to be? This reminds me of something I've asked in Manwe once. On an invitation only, member-run and potentially member-owned board, who's we ? And which we are so much m...
