`More like' != `equal to'.

I'm not huge or scaly or a creation of Morgoth or a lover of treasure,
either.

And I *do* like trees. (I haven't had reason to check to see if I can
stop trees from attacking me, because none have done so. They must like
me. More evidence. :) )

--- oh, and there's no evidence that Bombadil is older than evil; he's
as old as Arda, sure, but the Ainur are all older than Arda too, so
that's no use for determining relative ages.

We know Bombadil arrived on Arda before Morgoth (as he would later
be named), but we don't know how much time the Ainur spent in the Music
outside of time... (actually, the question makes little sense; it *was*
outside of time, after all...)

So do I, but only one copy of each of the HoME books.
