Did they never think that it would have been useful to keep in touch every so often, to see how things were going? The wise, ha! Wise, my foot.

Sure! They were all keeping in touch. Saruman was in touch with Sauron, Radagast was in touch with the birds, Gandalf with the elves(what's the mind reading stuff called? auswe? osanwe?) hmm, I guess the Blue wizards were in touch with each other.

Perhaps, Narfforc, has a point-maybe Alatar and Pallando did get rid of evil beasts that may have been set upon Gondor. Much like Gandlaf saying (inLost tales) that it was good Bilbo and Bard got rid of Smaug or they would have him to deal with.

That is certainly not superior to, on arrival in Middle-earth, saying "Right boys, meet at the pub 100 years from now! Discuss how things are going."

If only the wizards were Scottish. That is exactly what would have happened. Especially if Gandalf (the instigator) promised a round.
