Bobby the balrog, why did you see fit to pursue the fellowship in Moria?

Pursue? Pursue! I'll have you know I was taking my usual afternoon stroll through Moria when some old bearded geezer with a nasty stick was blocking my way onto the bridge (he seemed to be drunk). He then started swearing at me and calling me all kinds of nasty things. Then he broke the bridge under my feet! Well, I can tell you, I was quite upset. Perhaps pulling him down into the chasm with me was rather over the line, but he was so rude!


Gandalf, wouldn't it have been smarter to cross the Misty Mountains just east of Rivendell (the way you took in the Hobbit) and travelling along the Anduin to Lothlorien, rather than getting so close to Sauron's spies and eventually having to go through Moria? I mean, doesn't that make more sense?
