  This may be, as I said up there, a silly question, but it has
created a certain amount of debate in these parts.  The question is:

How tall is a Hobbit???

I believe Tolkein described them as looking like 10-year olds to
the men of Gondor, but many times people (especially in FRP games)
describe them as being about 3 feet tall (just bigger than my 2 1/2 year
old son!).  Some discussion of this sort of thing would be welcome. My
net address is changing soon, so mail may or may not get through.
