Well it took four and a half hours but I finall found the source of this debate of Sarumans ring at 4:30 this morning EST Australia.
Why did it take four hours I hear you ask, well after I got off the net at 10 mins to 12 last night, I went and skimmed thru my copy of Book 2 of LoTR, I could not find any mention of Saruman having a ring. I therefore turned to my copies of The Simirillion, Unfinished Tales, The Peoples of Middle Earth, and the Appendixes of LoTR. Finally, due to frustration at having looked for 4 hours and not found any references, I turned once again to my copy of book two and started reading (properly) thru the chapter concerning the Council of Elrond... and lo and behold there it was.....
...it's now 7:20 am here...I've been up all night Studying Middle Earth..
.... I NEED COFFEE!!!!
