In my opinion, it is kind of hard to explain away without using an author error excuse. This isn't some little detail that can be missed due to great minds being busy with other things. This is potentially (and obviously so) the fate of Middle Earth.

That’s a good catch, CAB. I was not familiar with Olmer’s thread. I’ll post there; the main question here is, “How many people knew about Bilbo’s Ring at the end of The Hobbit,â€� and as RÃ*an has already raised the subject, I was headed toward how many people knew Frodo had the Ring.
