I stole that sig file from someone in a Slackware NG where there was
some debate as to who 'he' was :-) But from this I tracked the Balrogs
back through the Silmarillion where they are major players.

Mind you while I was digging through the Silmarillion I found the
greatest story that Tolkien wrote: Beren and Luthien, names that I
believe have been written at his request on his tomb.
