If it was indeed him I think he may be just checking out what he is getting into after all the info he must have got from the khabari and the journalist contact of MT. Since he has already committed to come to the form he may be wanting to know what we crazy fans have to say.
I just hope he was not too scandalized by what he must have read in this forum - if it really was him in the first place.
Imagine - MT's Random Musings, Raaga's observations and othe posts, zara's cartoons, the 500+ pages of the AF and all the fan-fic.
