Sauron and elf-letters

[doug*platypus]

Lets look at the evidence: Gandalf is a Maia, recognised as being one of the wises beings on ME. Legolas was a young elf with only 5 facial expressions and a vocabulary of "ORC!" who was contradicted by the script on the ring. Who would you believe?

LOL! Good call. That's pretty much it, right there - what would Legolas know about one of the Ainur?

I've always liked the bit where Gandalf says only Elf runes are fine enough - it makes me picture the Ring if an Orc had written on it, all big chunky half-illiterate graffiti, "MASTER WUZ HAIR" or something!
