Gildor Inglorion - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This thread is the first time I have heard anything negative said about Gildor. Reading the book I never blame Gildor for not walking Frodo to Rivdendell, but in truth I hadn't given it much thought beyond: Gildor did not want to interfere too much. For him to be one of my two favorite elves(other is Finrod)with such a brief part shows that I think highly of him.
Does anyone think that once upon a Time J.R.R Tolkien considered Gildor to be the Son of Finrod? He was named Inglor at the time Gildor was first named..(to my knowledge) and this is based on what is Told in HoME: The return of the shadow. I know that he is not the son of Finrod but damn I want him to be.
