I see no point why I should play the devil's advocate here <img src=smile.gif ALT="">
But just to let my points not stand as unprecise as they were:

I didn't say all High-Elves awoke at Cuivienen. But those who didn't were not useful to my argumentation anyway <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> , and I did not mean those many others.
What I doubted was whether the number of eldest Cuivienen elves, who could theoratically be older than Fangorn in my theory, was still big enough to count as a people.
And as far as I remember all sources I have, Círdan was the eldest elf in ME in 3018 TA.

This does not mean I question the content of Appendix F. I was just trying to maintain the thread a bit.

Dragons sailing on the breeze, / Black and gleaming beam / The hand upon the steering-board / has set my spirit free / Lost no more to time and place for / I have seen the land / I have heard the valkyrie's song / and I've touched Ódhinn's hand.</p>
