Re: the white is stronger than the Grey. Why?

Interesting, Ron. I never thought to link Gandalf's powers wielded by his "human" body to the Ring and its destruction. Nor did I ever think about Gandalf's failure to use his powers after the destruction of the Ring.

Do you suggest that his abilities were somehow linked to the Ring's existence? Another way to look at it would be that after the Ring, Gandalf has no need to exhibit his power. Also, wasn't Gandalf involved in the "mind to mind" discussion with Elrond and Galadriel as they journeyed to the Havens?
