Gotta keep the natural history straight Red - Trolls are Trolls (related to 
rocks) and Ogres are Ogres (related to Dragons) and never the twain shall 
meet ---- except when Trolls give reason to be hunted  :-)

Tolkien missed the role of Ogres because they came out of the East. They 
were the "Second Front" against Mordor but never made it into the book :-)

If I can find it, I'll send you a copy so you'll understand.

We read LOTR on the CDT (for the ??th time - we don't bother counting). It 
was appropriate.  And you may be right aboout the future slips.

Walk softly,
Jim
