Why didn't The Ring have any effect on Bombadil?
If he was an enigma, like Ungoliant, I still think that the Ring would effect on him, the Silmarils effected on Ungoliant, and i dare to compare the stones and the Ring [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
And if Bombadil was a Maia, the Ring would've still effect him; Gandalf and Saruman were Mauar too, and Ring effected them (or would have effected, as Gandalf said when he refused to take it).
I found an discussion of that who was Tom Bombadil, and it has something to do with this, but there was nothing about the Ring.
Opinnions? I'd really like to know this.
