Hmm. Especially flimsy...

We could vote off Sauron. I've suspected for some time that Sauron frequently visited Gondolin in disguise as a traveling salesman by the name of Wili Lomion. He got in by pretending to be the real Lomion, but then sold vinyl siding. Once the sample case came out, though, he was invariably evicted. He never gave away the location before since he always hoped he could make a great sale and earn a big commission. Now that the real Lomion is dead, this disguise won't work anymore, so if our traveling salesman really is Sauron, he has no incentive to keep Gondolin's location secret from Morgoth.

Does anyone else share this suspicion? If not, I'll either vote for Glorfindel or join any upcoming wacky theories to get rid of Morgoth or Mandos, Doom of.
