Carry on.

By the way, I'm voting Sauron. See, it occurred to me that not once did Gandalf actually speak any words directly to Sauron, so Gandalf cannot be said to have lied to him. He did, however, strategize in such a way that he knew, knowing evil for what it is, that Sauron would deceive himself. So Sauron sufficiently lied to himself to lose the war. Thus, with this added reason to others so far posted, Sauron was the most effective liar.
