May I just bring up a point that slightly vears off the path of the rings but is still highly relavent to this thread...

Perhaps the key factor that kept Gandalf on track in his fight against Sauron, unlike any of the other Istari; Saruman was corrupted, Ragagast was hopeless and was only there because Yavanna (i believed) vouched for his, (manwe thought him slow of wit) and the other two (who's names i forget can someone remind me please) passed into the east and ultimately did nothing to hinder Sauron, was that he possessed one of the Three, it gave him strength to rally others and kept him on track in his plight. Cirdan could not have bestowed it upon anyone worthier. Perhaps the hand of Manwe guided his judgment?
