Osanwe-Kenta in 'the hobbit'

Thanks to Mithadan's thread on the Elves of Imladris in the Hobbit, I came across this quote which reinforces your view Mr. Underhill of their being a vast network of O-K going on throughout the Elven-world. Athought I had found a bit over the top at first, but here [pb Hobbit - ballantine p.59] is the text;
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> 'Elves know a lot and are wonderous folk for news, and know what os going on among the peoplesof the land, asquick as water flows , or quicker.'<hr></blockquote>

what think ye?

Lindil is often found on posting on the Silmarillion Project at the Barrowowns<u> Silmarillion canon , theories and discussion Forum </u> 'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.' </p>
