Thanks for all your ideas! I had thought about it being only a "filmish creativity" thing, and that's why I posted it here, but I still was curious. Everything you're syaing makes sense, and when Kalimac said:<BR><I>"Secondly, Elrond did not - thankfully for him - know the end of the story. He didn't know that Isildur would be ambushed and the Ring be lost"</I><P>I started to think about it, and it makes more sense now! Thanks!
