			In reference to Formendacil's post above:  is the use of the Ring in this way by Frodo not then suggested to be the direct cause of Gollum's fall?  I would think it unlike JRRT to play games like that, which renders the writing here improbable to be a passage indicating full grasp of faculty by Frodo.  ~R
