Omg, I just made a joke in the last thread how many threads we have about this, and here's another... no problem though. The more the merrier! I'm just as devoted as you guys.
I emailed CTW a while ago to no avail. The sudden influx of attention on this makes me think it may be on the brink of being found/released. I think someone over on MuppetCentral sent a letter about it to Caroll Spinney's fan mail recently.
Edit: Maybe emailing specific people may be a better avenue than just emailing Sesame Workshop. It may turn into ADWS, where they're like "dude, this is out of control". Of course not to harass them, but just let it be known.
