- The Lord of the Rings by Ralph Bakshi at least exists. I've seen it,
- and it wasn't a pirated copy. I would become *very* disappointed if
- the Rankin&Bass movies weren't available on video. Tell me it isn't true.

-
- I can find the Bakshi's animation, but it would be censored (?)
- and it would have Finnish text, and I don't want that. So, PLEASE,
- tell me where I can get those (or at least the Bakshi).

- As for this newsgroup, I'm glad it got such a warm welcome. Be warned
- though, that some sysadmins don't like newsgroups that haven't been
- properly discussed of in alt.config. One such sysadmin sent me mail
- and refused to create alt.fan.tolkien in his system.
-
- Death to the anti-anarchist sysadmins...;-)
