Remember what Gollum did to gain possession of the Ring. At the very least, he must have been more selfish than Frodo, who certainly never contemplated murdering Bilbo for the Ring. Although Frodo refused to relinquish it at the Cracks of Doom, he yet consistently displayed a very different character than Golllum.
In The Two Towers, remember when the old Smeagol began to resurface? If Gollum was completely given over to evil, he would have been incapable of such a change.
I'm just throwing this out there, since I'm unable at the moment to really study on this subject. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
