Good topic, Mithadan! It seems to me that the methods, motives, and personalities of the bearers makes all the difference.

Galadriel (aka Melian Jr.) and Celeborn seem to have a more First Age, isolationist, "Elves Only" thing happening in Lorien. They don't seem to be terribly concerned with goings-on outside of their own realm. Elrond, on the other hand, seems more involved with the problems and people of Middle-earth. Rivendell seems to be more "multi-cultural", or at least more receptive to guests and visitors of all sorts. In this way, perhaps, some of that "old-time" Elvishness is lost in Rivendell (though that isn't necessarily a bad thing!)
