Re: Gollum's Exit From Moria

thanks for the welcome, mithadan ... <img src=smile.gif ALT="">

you're only half-right rkittle ... Tolkien himself said (in his letters, i'll find out which one) that gollum was already there in Moria as he was hiding from the nazgul. it was simply his good fortune that the fellowship also passed through.

it is also unlikely that he went out through the east gate because it would have taken him too long to go the long way around and reach Lorien at the time that the fellowship was there (remember that he attempted to approach Frodo while he was sleeping in Lothlorien?). besides, Tolkien also mentioned (in the same letter, i think) that gollum did not know how to operate the doors ... <img src=smile.gif ALT="">
