Only the windlord and the eagles seem to retain an active and vibrant participation - indeed, their contribution at various times is crucial.

A though which occurs to me is to ask how much Ulmo ceases to participate in world events. It states specifically in the Sil. that he never abandons Middle Earth; I've wondered for a while whether he continued to meddle--discretely--in the its affairs after the rest of the Valar withdrew. Witness the reluctance of various evil things to cross many of the bodies of water.
Just a thought. Otherwise, I must find myself in agreement with the author of the thread.
