Thanks again, Osse. =]

Hmmm, Demloth, what you say about Sauron is true; but then think of societies like that of Numenor that wasn't concerned about 'surviving' in particular as they were not under threat. However, what they were was heavily influenced by the Eldar. I think that the incredible technology that Men have developed come from the nature of humans -- not least the nature to desire control and acquire things. Found in the Elves to an extent as well, but in Men it was rather differently manifest.

As Osse says, the 'psyche' of Elves was very different from our own.
