Re: Gollum
"If, (as shown by the quote from Z ) the Ring 'started' on it's 'owner' immediately, then why didn't he take revenge on his family who had beat him then, rather then going into hiding? Note also that when Bilbo let go of the Ring and it passed to Frodo he felt instantly better (It's 11 and I couldn't be bothered getting the quote) so why did Gollum, when he lost his ring, continue his quest for it? Bilbo walked away. Since we know Gollum was a Stoor, of the same descent as Bilbo, couldn't he have done the same, being of the same character? (To an extent)"
Gollum had the ring much longer than Bilbo did, and i'd like to think that Bilbo was a much more good at heart person than Gollum was even before the ring corrupted him. (him=Gollum)
