I've thought alot about that too and even though Kalimac says pretty much what I've come up with, I also had this little thought:<P>Wasn't Isildur and Elrond related? I could have forgotten or thinking about something else, but Aragorn is Isildurs heir and on those pretty family trees out there you can see that Elronds brother, Elros was the ancestor of the High Kings, right? So, anyway.. I was thinking that Elrond WAS, after all, some kind of uncle to Isildur. If you feel you are closely related to someone, you really don't want to break their spirit and/or kill them. If he had known that the Ring would disappear out of history for 3000 years, he possibly could have made Isildur give up the Ring, but.. well, nobody is perfect. not even an elf.
