Death Of Sauron. Spoilers

[andustar]

I have to agree with you, Darth and fat middle.

Samwise, I don't think Sauron was destroyed.

For instance, Gandalf says this, confirming what Fat Middle wrote : (from the Last Debate)

Iif it [the Ring, not sauron!!!!!] is destroyed, then he will fall: and his fall will be so low that none can forsee his arising ever again. For he will lose the best part of the strength that was native to him in the beginning, and all that was made or begun with that power will crumble, and he will be maimed for ever, becoming a mere spirit of malice that gnaws itself in the shadows, but cannot again grow again or take shape.

There, doesn't this match word for word what Fat Middle said?

Anyway, I am prepared to accept Gandalf's authority on this point, him being a Maiar in Middle Earth himself .
