Well, you've got me by a few. I would say my fandom started in 2001 but I understand the passion you have quite well obviously. I think that you will find some changes with both the books and movies. There are things I did not like for the most part in my early readings that now I enjoy far more (Tom Bombadil for example) and there may even be a change in things you used to like a lot that you like a little less. It all depends on how your life goes but in the end I think you will be like a lot of us in that Middle-earth is a refuge from the stresses of everyday life when you need it. Its all good. I think most of us accept some will fall either fully on one side or the other with many (like me) inbetween. Its all about accepting that people will feel differently and finding a way to be respectful about the feelings of others on the subject. You're cool. :) Its a good thread. :)
