The question though, is why the One Ring would do that. Certainly it was only made for one person, Sauron. So why the flexibility in sizing? Maybe that was connected with the fact the it contained a large part not only of Sauron's power, but his will and fea as well. It simply adjusted itself to fit a temporary bearer until it could make its way back to its master.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. The Ring was like a terrorist in disguise who is your friends but still doing its job (of whatever the ter. is asked to do). The Ring would want its bearer to "love" it, so the size matters.
But what does this suggest? I mean why couldn't the Ring just be like it was?
