Way to go, Bird! I love your style! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I would look it up if I had the book at the moment, but I'll have to go from what I remember when I re-read the Fellowship over Christmas:

Sauron created his ring to dominate all the other rings, especially the three Elven rings. In order to create a ring that powerful he had to infuse it with so much of his might that losing it nearly undid him (or something to that effect).

Now, what exactly "dominate" entails I am not sure. However, I think the immense power of the One is why the Three lost their power after its destruction. This is despite the fact that they were forged before it was.

I heartily wish I could be more specific (and if I erred please gently correct me), but all I can do is try to point people in a general direction.
