You know, after reading the last few posts, it seems all the more appropriate that the Elves who remained in Middle-earth were destined to "fade" over time.
If Men couldn't have it both ways, going back and forth from the mortal to the immortal, as explained by the Eldar of Eressëa to the Númenóreans, why should the Elves have that privilege? The Eldar belonged in the Blessed Realm and Men belonged in Middle-earth.
