In the Akallabeth, it says that when the Numenoreans thought they had lived long enough in/had enough of the world, they could "chose" to die (example: Aragorn, last of the Numenoreans, decided to "sleep" in the ROTK when he got old, rather than wait till his life ran out). Personally, I agree with the "The fact that men have the right to chose, and the right to die and leave, would make us more special then anything immortal" statement. The elves must have gotten very bored after a while...but then again, they're not human (maybe they don't get bored...). Maybe the reason that the "powers that be" keep changing the world (and its inhabitants [both here and in ME]) is solely for the entertainment of the immortals that are stuck here...
