The writer known affectionaltely as JMS used to hang out online in the newsgroup and interact with all of us bozos daily. Back before the internet became a household appliance.
It's interesting just how many parallels there are to Lord of the Rings. JMS admittedly was all but writing Lord of the Rings in space.
The newsgroup is still up, no? I think it is. There are monthly archives at
Worlds of JMS
Yes, my brother and I were amazed at how many parallels there were with LOTR. It's a little disturbing, at times. Z'ha'dum/The bridge of Ka'zah'dum, "The Nine", the Grey Council, etc.
