I can't expand upon it Fordhim, except to say it makes perfect sense.

Gollum gets away from them Mirkwood elves, nearly escapes Aragorn, and he knows secret passage ways. Passageways through Emyn Muil, the Dead Marshes, passages into Mordor. Besides the fact he was trying to lead Frodo into death, he was a very competant guide. Gandalf, really vague, he doesn't know where to go in Moria, he leads them into the mighty storms of Caradhras, but there's where they're different, Gandalf tries to lead Frodo and the company out of trouble (which he fails). Gollum tries to lead Frodo into trouble, he suceeds. I still don't see what Tolkien is trying to do with this, is it to show the weakness of Gandalf and the depth of Gollum? I don't know yet.
