thats what i was thinking. mcguffin's are more an indirect impetus than an actual player, it would seem.
Yeah like the objections of desire in the Malestese Falcon, the suit case in Pulp fiction and the plans in North by Northwest could be pretty much inter changeable with really affecting the plot much.. (except the Maltese Falcon might have to be called a different title :-)

However the One Ring in LOTR has (by its power/natural) direct influence on the characters and plot.
