I just wanted to say thanks to you and the other CotW moderators precisely
for the reason you mention apologetically -- It was my hope that when the
discussion of the Silmarillion began that there would be enough folks who
are knowledgeable about the corpus of Tolkien's legendarium to be able to
illuminate some of the variant texts ant textual traditions. Additionally,
this offers an insight re Christopher Tolkien's editorial work on the
Silmarillion as published.
So in other words, no apologies, mate, instead many thanks.
Looking forward to more of the same.

This is basically just a "me too" post. Even if I get HOME books out of
the library, I doubt I could get into half as much detail about both
Tolkiens' writing and editing processes. So I hope you will continue to
contribute this kind of information, especially when I (and other
non-HOME people) do a COTW.
