I have had a concern for quite some time regarding Gildor Inglorion and his Wandering Company which has bothering me for years. Why would he leave Frodo and his companions alone knowing full well they were being pursued by the Black Riders? He was immensely concerned that Gandalf was missing, he knew Frodo was carrying a great burden, and he knew who the Black Riders were...and yet the best he can do is to pass on news regarding Frodo to other Wandering Companies. As it turned out, the messages arrived in Rivendell well before Frodo did, as can be observed by the appearance of Glorfindel searching for the travelers. I find this whole scenario quite disturbing. What Frodo was trying to accomplish was just as important to Gildor and his people as it was to Frodo.

Anybody else ever wondered about this?
