Is directed at Mimn's reply (and to a degree the one following) which says I am assuming that I know where Gollum is at all times. Actually, THAT'S the assumption, not the question I asked, which IS based in the facts, not assumptions, which HIS answer totally is. I'm simply writing down what Tolkien wrote, which always states Gollum is following the Company for starters.... and that leaves some major holes in getting Gollum out the Door of Moria, let alone to Lorien hours ahead of hundreds of Orcs of their tail. So what do i want? Perhaps a logical answer, not conjecture that has absolutely no textual backup? How about this: 'great question.. I never thought of that. I guess Tolkien dropped the ball on this one.' Until I see something more concrete, I'm sticking with that one.

I'm very sorry that Tolkien didn't spell everything out for you.
