Rudeboy, that is not exactly accurate. The bearers of the Three Elven Rings were often wearing them, as evidenced by Frodo seeing the Ring of Adamant on Galadriel's finger in Lothlorien. And Sauron could not exert any real "control" over any of the bearers of the Three Rings as he could with the Ringwraiths or the wearers of the Seven Dwarven Rings (remember, Sauron never actually helped make, or touched the Three). The One Ring and the Three were bound together in that the Three ceased to hold any 'magical' power after the One was destroyed, but that is the limit of their connection.
