[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Nah, I was refering to them letting the Dwarves and Bilbo escape, and then not learning from that error and letting Gollum escape.

And they let Sauron escape! Hope that they aren't the ones guarding Robert Blake in LA -- you might as well hand an inmate the keys as expect the Mirkwood elves to keep them locked up! I guess the only responsible Mirkwood Elf was Legolas, so naturally he wants to go to the Greyhavens and ship out.

They weren't in charge of Sauron! The Mirkwood Elves were moriquendi, hardly up to the task of dealing with an evil Maiar.

OT, I was in class. A three hour lecture on fascism and communism. In another hour and some I have a massive pain in the neck building meeting to attend. This is your only warning: do not mess with the Elves. I will not be liable else.

Hhmmm, well JenB, maybe all that Miruvor has a LITTLE bit of an effect.
