Hi SapphiraMJForever. Love your enthusiasm.
I'm from the Northeast, too. The "true fan" designation doesn't hold any water with me. If you love and/or respect Michael, then that's good enough, in my book.
I don't believe Michael died, at least not on June 25, so as far as I'm concerned, the "investigation" is all about learning as much as possible about what happened on that day. I'd also love to see Michael again, but solid proof that he's still with us would be enough for me.
