I didn't mean Elrond was light years ahead of Galadriel or anything - each of the Wise have their own strengths or 'specialties.' It was just to say that Elrond too had his strong points and a great 'power' about him.  Both were very powerful and served similar roles in the story of 
The Lord of the Rings.

 If we use this logic, then Narya is the greatest.  Gandalf was far greater than Galadriel and Elrond.
 
Heh - I don't really imagine him to be a beast.  Make sure you steer clear of the 'Elrond's a wuss' thread  [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
