Ok, my turn!!!!!!  Me! Me!  Read my part!!!
 
   I too have been waiting for the return of my favorite "child" to the
All My Children nest.  I have been watching as long as I can remember, and
I cannot think of anything that would make me as happy as to have Tad back!
YOu, Mr. Michael Knight, have been missed more than words can say.  DO us
proud and straighten up Pine Valley!!!!  Welcome, Welcome!!!  And please
don't leave us again for a long long time!!!
 
   P.S.  If you need a love interest, I volunteer -- free, no pay --
it'd be worth it!!!!!

Oooooh, my turn, my turn......
 
Puff, puff, puff, ....... deep relieved sigh......Whew....
 
Dearest MEK:
 
    Ditto to all of the above, even if I have to stand in line behind
Melissa to be your love interest ;-)  Hope Tad's third mom isn't abusing
you, but if she is Ruth and Opal will make mince meat out of her in
a Pine Valley minute!
 
     When you actually get this letter, keep in mind that most of us are
educated, professional, technologically literate folks who spend a decent
chunk of our daily schedule discussing AMC over the net.  Some people
have fan clubs, but you've got a whole pack of RATSters.  Not bad for
the ego - eh?
 
     Welcome back MEK - we missed you ;-)
